Candidates from the fields of the natural sciences, the humanities, the social sciences, the life sciences and medicine who are no older than 40 years of age are eligible to apply. Submitted works should be of a standard equivalent to habilitation.
Applications are reviewed by the Study Fund and the Board of Trustees, who consult external experts for this purpose.
The awards are presented at a ceremony in November each year.
