Young Scientist Awards / Karl-Jörg Langenberg Awards
on the Occasion of the Kleinheubacher Tagung 2025

As part of our continuing commitment to encouraging the next generation of early-stage researchers, we will offer up to 10 Young Scientist Awards (YSA), three of these YSA recipients will be further selected for Karl-Jörg Langenberg Awards during the course of the conference.

The selection of YSA recipients will be based upon an examination of the documents submitted. Besides originality and creativity, form and clarity of the presented work will be assessed. The YSA includes a certificate, a waiver of conference fees, and a

Prize money of €250.

All YSA recipients are required to give a talk within a special YSA Session. During this YSA Session, the contributions will be evaluated by an Award Committee. The top three contributions will be awarded a Karl-Jörg Langenberg Award (KLA). In addition to a certificate and the stated prize money, the KLA recipients will receive:

€5000 (1st Prize),
€4000 (2nd Prize) and
€3000 (3rd Prize).

(amounts subject to adjustments should there be multiple winners with the same score). All YSA und KLA recipients will be honored during the Kleinheubacher Tagung 2025.
