The Hermann Staudinger Award is awarded by the GDCh every two years to scientists who have made special contributions to the field of macromolecular chemistry. The award commemorates Hermann Staudinger, known as the father of polymer chemistry, who received the 1953 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his achievements. The GDCh Division of Macromolecular Chemistry has the right to nominate the awardee.

Current awardee: Kurt Kremer, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz

The GDCh honors Prof. Dr. Kurt Kremer in recognition of his groundbreaking work in the field of numerical simulation of soft matter, with which he has fundamentally expanded the spectrum of models and methods. In doing so, he has always kept the concrete application in mind and in this way established microscopic simulations as an essential link between macromolecular chemistry and theoretical polymer physics.
