Since 2020 the Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung (EKFS) has awarded three publication prizes for younger scientists once a year for outstanding publications which have arisen from funding on the part of the foundation.
All of the next-generation scientists funded by EKFS within the medical/scientific funding lines First and Second Application, Else Kröner Memorial Fellowships and Else Kröner Advancement Programmes are able to submit entries for the prize. Prerequisite to submission is that the publication arose from foundation funding. The call for proposal takes place once a year.
