Albert Maucher Prize in Geoscience
The Albert Maucher Prize in Geoscience is generally awarded once every two years to young researchers (up to 35 years of age) in recognition of the outstanding research findings and original approaches they have produced using DFG funds. To qualify, researchers nominated for the prize must have personally applied for and been granted the DFG funds - i.e. for an independent and self-initiated project.
The prize was donated by Munich geologist Albert Maucher, who himself received DFG funding at the beginning of his scientific research career. The elected peer reviewers of the DFG are eligible to nominate prizewinners.
