Klaus-Goerttler-Prize
Since 1996 the DGfZ awards a younger scientist with the so called Klaus-Goerttler-Prize, which goes along with prize money of 1000 €. The award is named after Prof. Klaus Goerttler, a retired Pathologist and trend-setting member of the foundation board of our society.
The Prize is dedicated to award a younger scientist for a scientific work out of the wide field of Cytometry which appears outstanding both in scientific quality and innovation as well as presentation and layout. It is expected that submitted documents should reflect a (almost) finished scientific graduation (Diploma, Bachelor, Ph.D. or an equivalent work). The graduation in written form (already printed or in press) and/or scientific papers already published (or in press) will be considered in the reviewing process by the council board of the society.
Documents can be submitted (c/o president of the society) both in digital or written form – however written copies are preferred. A testimonial submitted by a supervisor is desired.
The awarded scientist is expected to give a presentation reflecting his/her work on the occaision of the annual conference of the society.
