Prizes covered by the form
The form covers the Heyn Commemorative Medal, the International Tammann Medal, the DGM Prize, the DGM Pioneer, the Masing Memorial Prize, the Georg Sachs Prize and the DGM Prize for Young Talent.
For honorary membership, an informal proposal with a letter of appreciation sent to dgmdgm.de is enough. For the DGM Prize for Young Talent, you can also nominate yourself. In that case the DGM expects two letters of reference.
The Materialography Prize, the Roland Mitsche Prize, the Werner Koester Prize and the Galileo Prize are awarded differently. Their pages explain how.
Principles
The DGM does not discriminate on the basis of nationality, citizenship, race, gender, profession or age when selecting recipients. Some prizes are tied to a particular career stage, the DGM Prize for Young Talent has age requirements, and other prizes require the nominee to be a DGM member.
