Leibniz Prize^[1] ）A famous versatile scholar in modern Germany Gottfried William Leibniz （Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, 1646-1716）^[3] Named by German Science Foundation In (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft^[3] ，DFG^[4] ）It was established in 1985 and awarded to up to ten scholars engaged in scientific research in Germany every year from the next year.^[3] It is one of the scientific awards with the highest prize amount in the world, ranking second only to the German academia Nobel Prize 。^[3] This award is mainly to support the scientific research work of outstanding researchers and encourage them to lead the rising stars to participate in scientific research.

Significance of awards

edit

The Leibniz Prize is known as the "fairy tale" freedom (m ä rchenhaft Freiheit) granted to Germany's top scientific researchers. The award-winning scholars can apply for scientific research funds of up to 2.5 million euros within 7 years. The scientific research plan is completely designed by them and can be funded without cumbersome administrative procedures. The purpose of its creation is also to try to catch up with the funding gap between Germany's most cutting-edge scientific research talents and the United States.^[3]

Number of awards

edit

From 1986 to 2017, the Leibniz Prize has been awarded to 348 winners (or groups), including 115 natural sciences, 101 life sciences, 79 humanities and social sciences, and 54 engineering sciences. Since the awards can be shared by multiple winners, there are actually 374 winners, including 326 male scholars and 48 female scholars. Seven of the winners received the following award Nobel Prize "Coronation" of: Hartmut Michel (1988 Chemistry Prize), Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann (1991 Medicine Prize), Christian N ü sslein Volhard (1995 Medicine Prize), Theodor W. H ä nsch (2005 Physics Prize), Gerhard Ertl (2007 Chemistry Prize) and Stefan W. Hell (2014 Chemistry Prize).^[3]
