v.l.n.r.: B. Köhler, GDCh, B. Voit, Laudatorin, J. Thiele, Preisträger, N.Manecke, Stifterin, Frau Thiele und T. Gotszalk, Neffe der Preisträgerin

The Georg Manecke Foundation was established by Nina Manecke in honor of her late husband, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Georg Manecke. It is the founder's wish to keep his memory alive and to pave the way for young scientists to pursue their professional futures in his spirit.

The foundation's goal is to honor Georg Manecke's legacy as a scientist and mentor, to support the synthesis and transformation of macromolecular substances, and to promote international networking. The focus is on innovative projects aimed at the application of polymeric materials for biochemical, biotechnological, or medical applications.

The Georg Manecke Foundation has restructured. From April 2026, discover the current funding opportunities and learn how the foundation can effectively support your projects.

In 1999, the non-independent, non-profit Georg Manecke Foundation was established at the German Chemical Society (GDCh) by Nina Manecke (1921–2024), the widow of its namesake, to pave the way for young scientists in their professional futures. With the establishment of the foundation, the founder wanted to contribute to the promotion of young scientists in her husband's fields of work, in accordance with his wishes.

Georg Manecke (1916-1990) was interested in preparative macromolecular chemistry and the practical application of macromolecular substances, especially for biochemical and biotechnological purposes. Georg Manecke was a leading figure in polymer science and conducted research in Berlin throughout his life.
