Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Dissertation Prize at the Department of Physics
Every year since 2019, the Department of Physics has awarded an outstanding dissertation with the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Dissertation Prize. The selected doctorates have each been graded "with distinction" and make a significant scientific contribution to their respective subject area. The award is associated with prize money of 4,000 €, which is financed by the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation. The award ceremony takes place during the graduation ceremony of the Department of Physics.
