Archived Awards and Honors

The Independent Research Fund Denmark awards Anne E. B. Nielsen a Sapere Aude starting grant of 789436 euro to carry out the project "Anyons in new settings". The purpose of the Sapere Aude initiative is to reward the most accomplished young researchers and scientists with original ideas and provide the opportunity to carry out research at the highest international level.

Frank Jülicher, director of the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS) and the CSBD, is one of 62 outstanding life scientists, that have been elected to the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). With his election, the biophysicist is joining a group of over 1800 EMBO researchers in Europe and around the world.

The distinction is awarded to outstanding young scientists by the University of Regensburg. Markus Heyl receives the prize for his contributions to the field of nonequilibrium quantum many-body systems and, in particular, for the development of the theory of dynamical quantum phase transitions. The prize is donated with 2.000 Euro, and the awardees are invited to give a guest lecture at the University of Regensburg.
