Robert-Wichard-Pohl-Preis

The Robert-Wichard-Pohl-Preis is an annual award presented by the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG) for outstanding contributions to physics that have significant impact on other disciplines in science and engineering or that notably advance the dissemination of scientific knowledge in physics teaching and didactics. The award comprises a certificate with a laudation and a monetary prize of 7,500 Euro. The prize is typically granted to a single person, but may be shared equally if awarded to multiple recipients. The award is usually presented at a larger DPG conference and the laureate is expected to give a lecture at an appropriate DPG meeting.
