Two Awards for FAW/n / Professor Radermacher

Austria-Germany Award

On March 21, 2019, FAW/n was informed that, together with the Universitäts.club / Carinthian Society for Science at the Alpen-Adria University Klagenfurt, it would receive this year’s Recognition Award from the Austrian-German Society. The award is presented annually on varying themes. This year, it highlights a scientific partnership between an Austrian and a German partner that has engaged over a long period with relevant research topics. The 2019 Recognition Award for science is shared equally between the Research Institute for Applied Knowledge Processing (FAW/n) in Ulm and the Universitäts.club / Science Association Carinthia at the Alpen-Adria University Klagenfurt. The awardees meet a range of criteria: longstanding, sustainable, cross-border, unconventional, broad-reaching, and dynamic engagement with science, culture, and contemporary issues. The location of both institutes outside major metropolitan areas was also deliberately viewed as a positive factor. The award carries a prize of €10,000. The festive colloquium will take place on September 19, 2019, at the Austrian Consulate General in Munich.

On February 1, 2019, it was announced that Prof. F.J. Radermacher would receive this year’s Abt Jerusalem Prize. The prize is awarded by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brunswick, the Technical University of Braunschweig, the Braunschweig Scientific Society, and the Braunschweig Cultural Heritage Foundation for outstanding scientific contributions to the dialogue between the humanities, natural sciences, and engineering. The Abbot Jerusalem Prize includes a monetary award of €5,000 as well as the presentation of the Abbot Jerusalem bust by Fürstenberg. The festive colloquium for the award ceremony is scheduled for November 26, 2019, at the Monastery Church in Riddagshausen, Braunschweig.
