Hermann Staudinger Prize

Last updated

The Hermann Staudinger Prize is awarded by the German Chemical Society for groundbreaking work in the field of macromolecular chemistry and polymer science. It comes with a gold medal and a sum of money (currently 7500 euros). It is awarded in even-numbered years and is named after the Nobel Prize in chemistry winner Hermann Staudinger, who is the founder of the field. [1] The prize started in 1970 through donation from BASF and the first prize was handed out in 1971. [2]
