DGZ AWARDS 2014
WALTHER FLEMMING MEDAL 2014
The German Society for Cell Biology offers a research award named after Walther Flemming, one of the pioneers of cell biological
research. In 1875 he provided us with a detailed description of processes during cell division, which he named mitosis.
The Walther Flemming Medal is awarded annually for outstanding scientific merits from all fields of cell biological research.
Eligible are researchers up to an age of 38 years. The award consists of the medal itself and a prize money of
EUR 2000
and is
sponsored by the
European Journal of Cell Biology
.
Applications have to consist of a cover letter, a CV and a list of publications. The subject of the application should relate to one
distinct field of research. In addition, a short summary of the work and a compelling description of the importance of the work for
cell biology should be presented.
Both individual applications and nominations are accepted. Applications will be reviewed by an independent commission of the
DGZ. The award ceremony takes place at the next DGZ meeting, which will be held on March 18-21, 2014 in Regensburg.
Please send your application
