Herbert von Halem Award

The early-career body of the DGPuK, together with the publisher Herbert von Halem, calls for applications for a promising dissertation project; the call has gone out annually since 2014. The prize is a publication of the funded dissertation with Herbert von Halem at no cost to the author — copy-editing, typesetting, cover design and printing included — plus €1,000 in prize money. An application consists of a letter of motivation, a project description, a letter of recommendation from the supervisor and a tabular CV; a jury of researchers holding a doctorate assesses the submissions.
