THE GERDA HENKEL PRIZE
The Gerda Henkel Prize was set up in 2006 and is awarded every two years to excellent and internationally acclaimed researchers who have demonstrated outstanding scholarly achievement in the disciplines and funding areas supported by the Foundation and can be expected to continue to do so. The Gerda Henkel Prize is worth 100,000 euros. The prize money may be used at the winner’s discretion.
The Foundation invites scholars of universities worldwide, as well as renowned cultural and academic institutions, to nominate qualified candidates. The prize is open to scholars from all countries. Self-nominations cannot be accepted. Neither members of the Foundation Committees or the jury nor employees of the Gerda Henkel Foundation may participate in the nomination process or be nominated for the prize.
Every two years, the Gerda Henkel Foundation awards the Gerda Henkel Prize for outstanding research in the historical humanities. The prize is worth € 100,000. On behalf of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, we are delighted to invite you to nominate candidates for the Gerda Henkel Prize 2016.
Internationally acclaimed researchers from the disciplines promoted by the Gerda Henkel Foundation - Archaeology, Art History, Historic Islamic Studies, History, History of Law, History of Science, Prehistory, and Early History - must be nominated before 15 January 2016. In addition we will be accepting nominations from the fields of the "Islam, the Modern Nation State and Transnational Movements" and "Security, Society and the State" special programmes. Other focal points of the Foundation’s efforts are support for young scholars in the humanities in both Africa and Southeast Asia as well as for the preservation of our cultural heritage, specifically in regions experiencing crisis.
