Danubius Award 2022
Date/Time
November 10, 2022
16:00 - 17:30 CEST/CET
The Danubius Award was created in 2011 by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Research (BMBWF) and the Institute for the Danube Region and Central Europe (IDM) to honor people with extraordinary achievements who have made a special contribution to the Danube region in their scientific work or in their work.
The prize is divided into two categories
A) The Danubius Mid-Career Award
This prize is awarded to researchers from 5 to a maximum of 15 years after their last formal scientific degree or equivalent scientific experience, whereby years of suspension of the scientific career are taken into account with appropriate proof.
B) The Danubius Award
This award is independent of formal age limits or the number of years since the last formal scientific degree or the respective status in the scientific world – and is awarded exclusively with reference to the overall scientific merits in and around the Danube region.
The Danubius Award is intended to contribute to the better visibility of the Danube region and to the increased perception of its multidisciplinary challenges and potentials; accompanied by the encouragement to deal with it on a scientific level.
