Karl Friedrich Bonhoeffer Award Lecture

Karl Friedrich Bonhoeffer Award Lecture

Since 2004, we regularly invite renowned scientists to present their latest research results in our Karl Friedrich Bonhoeffer Lecture series. Since 2016, the lecture series is being continued under the name of Karl Friedrich Bonhoeffer Award Lecture.

With the Karl Friedrich Bonhoeffer Award Lecture we honor the scientific achievements of outstanding international and national scientists. The prize is, since 2016, endowed with 10,000 Euros and the awarding of a medal.

The interdisciplinary lecture series was established in honor of the physico-chemist Karl Friedrich Bonhoeffer (1899-1957). Karl Friedrich Bonhoeffer was among the first to follow an interdisciplinary approach in his research.

All interested people are welcome!
