Permanent Committees at Freie Universität Berlin
The Award Winners are selected by permanent committees at the Institutes of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Department of Physics at Freie Universität Berlin, with additional input from professors at other universities. Proposals and nominations by nationally and internationally renowned scientists are also taken into consideration. Self-nominations are not accepted.
The legacy of the original founder Otto Klung requires that this honor is bestowed upon outstanding younger German scientists under the age of 40 at the time of the award ceremony.
The final decision on the selection proposal is made by the Otto Klung Foundation and the Dr. Wilhelmy Foundation.
