Lichtenberg Medal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lichtenberg Medal (German: Lichtenberg-Medaille) is the highest award of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. It was established in memory of the Göttingen scholar Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. It has been awarded since 2004 (every two years since 2015) to "outstanding scientists who are respected by the public". The winner receives a gold medal and a certificate.

The Academy selects the laureate on the recommendation of either the Mathematical-Physical or the Philological-Historical Class. The right of nomination changes between the two classes.
