Single Review on past events

Yuko Ulrich from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena was the first recipient of the new research award of the Zukunftskolleg. The biologist studies the spread of diseases and disease resistance in social insects.

The Zukunftskolleg Research Award honours young researchers who have achieved outstanding scientific achievements in their field. This includes networked thinking and research, convincing solution orientation, and approaches to how we will master the challenges of tomorrow.
The Zukunftskolleg Research Award comprises a three-month research stay in Konstanz, in the framework of which the prize winner receives research funding of €3,000, reimbursement of travel costs as well as an accommodation allowance. The award enables its recipients to augment existing research projects, pursue novel experimental approaches, explore new questions and/or forge further links in their academic networks.

Over the years, the Zukunftskolleg Research Award will invite nominations from all subject areas at the University of Konstanz.

The award ceremony took place at the Kastaniengarten on Mainau Island.
