The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Germany’s largest public research funder, has announced the 11 winners of the 2018 Leibniz prizes.
Described by the DFG as the most important research award in Germany, the Leibniz prize for outstanding research provides €2.5 million for each individual winner to spend on research over the next seven years.
The winners, selected from 136 proposals, include three researchers in the humanities and social sciences, three in the life sciences, three in the natural sciences and two in engineering. Four of the winners are women. Two winners will share the €2.5m as part of the same prize.
