WALTHER FLEMMING AWARD 2017
The German Society for Cell Biology offers a research award na-
med after Walther Flemming, one of the pioneers of cell biologi-
cal research. In 1875 he provided us with a detailed description
of processes during cell division, which he named mitosis.
The Walther Flemming Award is awarded annually for outstan-
ding scientific merits from all fields of cell biological research.
Eligible are researchers up to an age of 38 years. The award
consists of 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. Ap-
plications will be reviewed by an independent commission of the
DGZ. The award ceremony takes place at the next DGZ meeting,
which will be held in March 2017 in Leipzig.
