Helmholtz High Impact Award – Science Prize with the Stifterverband
Every two years, the Helmholtz Association presents the Helmholtz High Impact Award, in collaboration with the Stifterverband. The award comes with a prize of 80,000 euros.
This award recognises highly innovative contributions emerging from close collaboration across different fields of research, addressing key challenges in science, business or society. In particular, it focuses on approaches that open up new perspectives through the interaction of different disciplines, with the potential to act as 'game changers' in a relevant field.
It is awarded to interdisciplinary teams of at least two researchers who completed their doctorates six to fifteen years ago and are working together on a research project.
The award ceremony will take place in the first half of 2027.
