The German Society for Crystallography (DGK) is calling for nominations of candidates for the Waltrude and Friedrich Liebau Prize for the Promotion of Interdisciplinarity in Crystallography. The prize recognizes work in which either methods and approaches from crystallography have been successfully applied to problems in another scientific discipline (partner discipline), or methods and approaches from a partner discipline have been successfully applied to problems in crystallography.
The prize consists of a certificate and a cash award of €2,000, awarded by the “Waltrude and Friedrich Liebau Foundation for the Promotion of Interdisciplinarity in Crystallography.” The award is intended to help promote the integration of crystallography with other sciences in teaching and research and to raise public awareness of this integration. The award ceremony will take place during the Joint Polish-German Crystallographic Meeting in Dresden from February 15 to February 18, 2027. The award committee requests that nominations be submitted by December 18, 2026, at the latest, via email to s.bette@fkf.mpg.de.
