Candidates sought for Ernst Ruska Prize 2025

The German Society for Electron Microscopy is inviting nominations for the Ernst-Ruska-Prize 2025. The prize is awarded for work carried out by scientists pioneering new capabilities of electron microscopy as a scientific technique through innovative instrumentation or novel methods of basic and general interest.

Work carried out by pure application of existing techniques will not be considered. The eligible work should not date back more than seven years. It must be either published or accepted for publication at the time of submission of the proposal.

The decision will be made by the independent Ernst-Ruska-Prize Committee. The Ernst-Ruska-Prize consists of a certificate, a financial award, as well as the honour of giving an Ernst Ruska Distinguished Lecture at the Ceremony of Award. If a group of authors receives the award, they will be awarded jointly. The ceremony will take place at the Microscopy Conference 2025 in Karlsruhe, Germany, August 31st – September 4th, 2025.

Proposals including appraisal of the achievement, reprints or preprints, and short CV including list of publications of the authors should be received in electronic version not later than November 30th, 2024, addressed to:
