Each year, the Working Group Separation Science awards the Ernst-Bayer Award to a young scientist during its doctoral seminar in Hohenroda. The prize, which includes a certificate and €1,000, recognizes an outstanding article in the field of analytical separation techniques that has already been published or accepted for publication in an international peer-reviewed journal . Both nominations and applications are welcome. Candidates should be under 30 years of age and should have completed their doctorate less than one year ago. The award is decided by a jury appointed by the working group's Board ; the decisive selection criterion is the scientific quality of the article.
Submission deadline: October 31, 2025
Objective
The Working Group Separation Science of the GDCh Division of Analytical Chemistry awards the Ernst-Bayer Award annually to honor an outstanding publication by young scientists in the field of analytical separation techniques.
The price
The award includes a certificate, prize money of 1,000 euros, and participation in the working group's 36th PhD seminar , which will take place in Hohenroda from January 11 to 13, 2026. The awardee will present the award-winning publication in a short presentation during the seminar. The award is decided by a panel of experts appointed by the working group's Board ; the decisive selection criterion is the scientific quality of the submitted work.
Nomination/Application
Both nominations and applications are welcome. The award is open to all first authors of a publication published or accepted in 2024 or 2025 in an international peer-reviewed scientific journal, who are no older than 30 years old and who have generally completed their doctorate no more than one year ago. The application must clearly state which individual publication is being nominated for the award. All nominations should include a brief recommendation or appreciation of the article, a CV (including contact details), and the publication itself.
submission
Please send your proposal electronically and summarized in a PDF file to Dr. Martin Vogel, the chairman of the separation science working group.
