The Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award is conferred to internationally recognized researchers in recognition of their entire academic record to date. In addition to a monetary award, award winners are invited to carry out research projects of their own choice in cooperation with specialist colleagues in Germany.
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation sponsors distinguished international scientists and scholars irrespective of their academic discipline or nationality and maintains an international network of academic cooperation and trust. The research awards have been a central pillar of the Foundation’s sponsorship activities since 1972. Numerous prizewinners were later awarded a Nobel Prize.
Well done and richly deserved, David!
