Research: Awards
If publications are the icing on the cake in science, then prizes and honours are the cherry on the top, no matter whether you’re a well-established professor or an up-and-coming young researcher.
Prizes and awards given to members and cooperation partners
Dies academicus 2022
Honors for Outstanding Achievements
With music, greetings from the director and a lecture by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Natalie Stranghöner, awards were once again received live on stage at the University of Duisburg-Essen during the Dies academicus. Among them were also three CENIDE researchers.
Scholarship for PhD student
Off to Estonia
A study visit abroad is a special experience. One that Maike Thiele, a doctoral student in the chemistry group of CENIDE member Prof. Jochen Niemeyer, is now able to enjoy with a scholarship from the Heinrich Hertz Foundation. For three months she will work in the group of Prof. Ivo Leito at Tartu University in Estonia for a research project on asymmetric organocatalysis.
Chemical Industry Fund
Kekulé Scholarship
Helene Giesler from the Schlücker group has successfully obtained a two-year Kekulé fellowship for her PhD. For this purpose, Giesler will work on photothermal precision immunotherapy with molecularly functionalized gold nanoparticles over the next three years. The entire research group and the Faculty of Chemistry wish Giesler every success with her PhD.
Award for Chemist
"Independent field of research established"
It is the highest honor for young researchers in chemistry: UDE Professor and CENIDE-member Dr. Kai S. Exner will receive this year's ADUC* Award on March 21. The jury was particularly impressed by the quality and number of his scientific publications in high-ranking journals.
CENIDE Best Paper Award
Since 2008, CENIDE has announced the „CENIDE Best Paper Award“ every year for the best scientific publications from young researchers. All members are invited to suggest publications from scientific journals affiliated with CENIDE for awards – either from their own or from other CENIDE working groups. The board and advisory board make up the jury, with publications judged on their scientific quality and interdisciplinarity.
The award winners each receive 500 euros (awarded authors in bold):
