In cooperation with the BIH QUEST Center for Responsible Research, the Einstein Foundation Berlin annually recognizes outstanding researchers and institutions whose work helps to advance the quality and robustness of research findings - whether they are breaking new ground, using and testing innovative methods, or collecting and sharing their data in novel ways.
The winners are selected by an international juryconsisting of eminent researchers. The generous prize money of €500,000 is provided by the Damp Foundation. Additional support is provided by the State of Berlin. Partners also include the Max Planck Foundation, the Berlin University Alliance as well as the media partners Nature Portfolio and the open access publisher Public Library of Science (PLOS).
On March 14, 2024, Albert Einstein's birthday, we will bestow the highly prestigious Award in its three categories at the Bode-Museum Berlin for the third time. You can watch the ceremony in our livestream, starting at 10 pm CET.
