Harry-Dember-Prize
Invitation to tender
1. objective
The Harry-Dember-Prize is intended to honor particularly outstanding master's or diploma theses at TU Dresden in the fields of optics, optoelectronics, photonics and imaging scanning probe methods. As a rule, the award is only given to students who have completed their studies within the standard period of study in the respective subject. Justified exceptions are possible. The prize is in memory of the Dresden physicist Prof. Harry Dember, the discoverer of the effect named after him. Dember was expelled by the National Socialists in 1933 after many years of successful work in the Department of Physics at the former TH Dresden and emigrated to Turkey and then to the USA, where he died in 1942.
2. award
The award consists of a certificate and prize money of 1000 euros.
3. award ceremony
Proposals for the award must be submitted to the Managing Director of the Center for Applied Photonics by university lecturers or other persons working in the fields mentioned under point 1 by November 30 of each year. Personal proposals are not possible. An eligible proposal consists of the diploma thesis and a detailed justification of the prize worthiness by the proposer. The jury (consisting of the Board of the Center for Applied Photonics) will select one thesis from the proposals received; the prize may be shared. The award ceremony takes place at a festive colloquium at the beginning of the following year.
