Looking for Outstanding Hydrogen Scholarship
German Hydrogen Association Establishes Award for Young Scientists
To encourage young scientists, the German Hydrogen Association has established the annual DWV Innovation Award for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells, beginning this year.
A prize of 1000 Euro will be presented to the author of the best university/college graduation or Ph.D. thesis of 2003 that addresses issues in hydrogen or fuel cell technology, or issues in its applications or effects. Work in the sciences or technology are eligible, as are subjects in the humanities or social sciences, such as acceptance studies or studies investigating the societal effects of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.
According to the award conditions the competition is open to anybody who has submitted such a thesis in either German or English at a German university or with the support of a German company, research institute, or public agency. The thesis must have been accepted and rated “Very Good”, “Magna Cum Laude”, or better. Authors are invited to send applications together with the thesis itself, a curriculum vitae, and a letter of recommendation from the student’s professor or faculty adviser to the DWV office until the end of the year. (Mail: Tietzenweg 85/87, 12203 Berlin, Germany)
The winner will be selected by the DWV's Board or Directors, based on recommendations from a jury of scientists selected from the midst of DWV's membership. The presentation will be celebrated on occasion of the annual members' meeting of DWV, for the first time in spring 2004. The winner will have the occasion to present his work to the public.
One of the objectives of DWV is to promote young scientists working in the field of hydrogen technology or fuel cells, including side areas.
