Young Investigator Award 2022 – Christoph Giez & Jan Taubenheim & Tyler Carrier
Once a year the CRC 1182 supports 2 junior researchers with each 15,000 €. The aim of the Young Investigator Award is to support on one hand the junior researchers of the CRC 1182 by providing them the possibility to develop their independent research project, on the other hand it is for the whole CRC 1182 the possibility to gain new scientific input and more connections within the research projects.
This year, due to the high number of good quality applications we awarded the Young Investigator Award to three junior researchers.
