Liebig Lectureship

In 1999, the Liebig Association organized a lecture series

- the Liebig Lectureship -

for outstanding young scientists in organic chemistry, preferably from other European countries.

This lecture series takes the recipients – the Liebig Lecturers – on an academic tour of Germany, visiting several universities or research institutes of their choice. The Liebig Lecturer receives EUR 4,000 in prize money for organizing the tour.

The 2025 Liebig Lecturer is Prof. Renana Gershoni-Poranne, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology/IL. The lecture titles and content, as well as the dates, will be published on this website in due course.
