Lieben Prize
The Austrian Ignaz Lieben Prize was awarded in 1865 for the first time and 1937 due to the persecution of the founding family for a long time last time. 2004, the price was reanimated by new sponsors and has since been awarded again annually to young scientists for outstanding work in the field of molecular biology, chemistry and physics.
History
The award was donated in 1863 by Elisabeth loved ones, the loved ones of the banker Ignatz widow in fulfillment of a testamentary wish. Every three years should be the best work of an Austrian scientist, alternately in the fields of physics and chemistry, excellent. The price at that time was 900 florins, which corresponded to about 40 percent of the annual salary of a university professor, doped.
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Emperor Franz Joseph, the Foundation was expanded in 1900 by Adolf, Leopold and Richard loved by the brothers - Lieben'sche jubilee endowment.
As of 1900, the award was given on an annual basis and extended to outstanding work in the field of physiology.
For 60-year jubilee of Emperor Franz Joseph was called by the Richard - Lieben'sche anniversary endowment of the Richard Lieben Prize for mathematics into being in 1909. He was awarded from 1912 to 1921 at intervals of three years. Another time he was in 1928 awarded for significant research in pure and applied mathematics.
In 1937, the ceremony had to be adjusted by the National Socialists, the price due to the persecution of the founding family.
The generous financial support by Isabel Bader and Alfred Bader, who escaped in 1938 from Austria to the UK to wake up the price and a new tender again in 2004 enabled. Now the prize is worth $ 36,000 and is awarded to young scientists from Austria, Bosnia - Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic and Hungary, for outstanding work in the fields of molecular biology, chemistry and physics.
