Werner Baltes Prize

Werner Baltes

The Society of Food Chemistry (LChG) - Division in the GDCh, awards the Werner Baltes Prize to young colleagues who are already independently scientifically active but not yet permanently appointed, for special scientific achievements. The prize should be an incentive for further successful activities. The prize money is EUR 2000.00. The prize is awarded at the celebratory meeting of the annual Food Chemistry Days. The awardee presents his scientific achievements in a lecture.

The prize for young scientists was created in 1969 as the "Prize for Young Scientists" and from 1998 to 2017 bore the name of Prof. Dr. Kurt Teufel (1892-1970). In 2017 the prize was awarded in honor of Prof. Dr. Werner Baltes (1929 - 2013) renamed the "Werner Baltes Award of the Young Scientist" and awarded under this name for the first time in 2018. Since 2023 the prize has been called the “Werner Baltes Prize”. The food chemist Werner Baltes was the first awardee of the "Young Scientist Prize" in 1970. He is and was particularly known for his teaching publications and has made a special contribution to the training and promotion of young food chemists.

Bruno Rossmann Award

Bruno Roßmann (Jugendbildnis)

awardee

The Bruno Rossmann Award of the Bruno Roßmann Foundation is awarded as part of the Food Chemistry Days by the Society of Food Chemistry - Division in the German Chemical Society . The prize consists of a certificate, the donor's photo and curriculum vitae as well as a monetary amount of up to EUR 5,000.

According to the will of the founder, scientific work on the following focal points can be awarded:

     

  • Rapid methods for the detection of harmful substances on and in food,
  • Methods for examining food with simple means, if, for example, the technical equipment is no longer operational for external reasons, as well as
  • Improvement of nutrition, elimination of harmful substances, better physiological utilization.

The funding goal thus serves practice-oriented consumer protection with special consideration of rapid methods and innovative approaches to resource-saving food analysis and the improvement of the nutritional situation through technological advances, including the reduction of undesirable substances. Explanations of individual terms can be found in the announcement about the foundation of the Bruno Roßmann Prize in the journal food chemistry 45, No. 5 (1991).

Younger scientists whose work corresponds to the purpose of the foundation are invited to apply for the Bruno Rossmann Award by means of advertisements - usually every two years - in the most important journals and journals. For this purpose, the work from the above areas, written in German or English, a one-page German summary and documents on the scientific career must be submitted. In addition, suitable work can be proposed by third parties if the relevant documents are attached.

A group of experts, the Prof. Dr. Mirko Bunzel, Karlsruhe (Chairman), Prof. Dr. Thomas Kuballa, Karlsruhe, and Dr. Katrin Hoenicke, Hamburg.
