The foundation is looking for young researchers who have written a very good doctoral thesis and are keen to explain to a non-scientific audience what they have done in their research in the form of a generally understandable article or a clear infographic.

Scientists who have completed their doctorate with very good results in the previous two years in the fields of biology, chemistry, geosciences, computer science, mathematics, neuroscience or physics are eligible to apply. Doctoral graduates in related subjects, for example biophysics, geoinformatics or neuropsychology, can also apply. However, it is important that your text can be assigned to one of the seven subject areas.

The doctoral certificate or the certificate of the final oral examination/defense must have been issued by February 28 of the application year at the latest.

Submission deadline: February 28, 2025
