Annual call for applications for the Science Award  

Every spring, the Annette Barthelt Award for Marine Research is granted at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel by the Annette Barthelt-Stiftung e.V. in memory of the terror victims of Djibouti, Annette Barthelt, Marco Buchalla, Hans-Wilhelm Halbeisen and Daniel Reinschmidt..

 

The annual award ceremony for young oceanographers was first held in 1990. The prize is intended for young scientists in the area of marine research. Young marine scientists from all disciplines can apply for it. The award comes with a research grant of 6000 euros funded by the German Federal Minister of Education and Research. The use of the stipend should benefit the scientific goals of the award winner.

Outstanding scientific work in a sub-discipline of marine research, maritime technology and navigation or interdisciplinary work related to German program contributions to marine research activities will be awarded. The work should be the results of final theses (master's, doctoral) and related to a ship expedition. The prize may be split among applicants.

The work should not be more than two years old at the time of application. The Scientific Advisory Board of the Annette Barthelt Foundation decides whether the submitted work is worthy of the award. It may appoint specific experts in individual cases. The decision on the awarding of the prize to one or more prize winners is made by a jury with a simple majority. It consists of members of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Foundation and its Board of Directors.

Members of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Annette Barthelt Foundation are currently (as of August 2024):

  • Prof. Dr. Peter Brandt, Chairman, Physical Oceanography, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, Kiel;
