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

Current awardee: Markus Antonietti, Potsdam

Professor Markus Antonietti received the Hermann Staudinger Prize 2020 for his research at the interfaces between polymer synthesis, materials research and interdisciplinary applications of functional materials in the fields of biomedicine to energy research. The award ceremony will take place during the annual meeting of the division Macromolecular Chemistry instead.
