BRIESE Award for Marine Science

Since 2010 the shipping company Briese Schiffahrts GmbH & Co. KG (Leer, Germany), together with the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW), grants the „BRIESE-award for Marine Science”. 

This annual award honours exceptional doctoral theses in marine science. The dissertations should closely relate to the use of research vessels and to the development of technologies and/or techniques of data acquisition at sea. 
Primary criterions for the award are the outstanding results of the dissertation and their importance for the marine science.
The prize is donated with 5.000 €
Application is open to scientists who graduated within the last 2 years from a German university with grades of very good (magna cum laude) or with honors (summa cum laude). 

Attention! Application for the Briese Award for Marine Research is open until 2024-10-31!Call for applications 2024

AWARDS

2023
14th Briese-Award - 21st of May. 2024: Dr. Hagen Buck-Wiese
The jury honours his outstanding research, in which he investigates the role of carbohydrates in marine metabolic processes, thus gaining important new insights into their role in carbon sequestration. The resulting carbon sink, the relevance of which was previously unknown and is becoming increasingly important in today's social debate, emphasises the importance of his research.
