The Otto Hahn Medal - an incentive for young scientists
Every year since 1978, the Max Planck Society has awarded the Otto Hahn Medal to young researchers for outstanding scientific achievements, mostly in connection with their doctorate.The Medal is endowed with 7,500 euros of prize money. The aim of the award is to motivate particularly talented individuals to pursue a university or research career.
The outgoing President always enjoyed taking time for photos like this: Martin Stratmann with the winners of the Otto Hahn Medal 2023. "It makes me proud to meet these talents in person at the annual meeting," he writes in the foreword to the brochure "Outstanding!”
