The Prize for up-and-coming teachers in higher education in Technical Chemistry, Chemical Process Engineering and Chemical Engineering is awarded annually to a maximum of two scientists whose lectures have received special recognition at the lecture meeting of the University Teachers' Young Talent.
Applicants for the Prize for up-and-coming teachers in higher education have the opportunity to recommend themselves for a professorship by giving a lecture at the traditional Young University Teachers Meeting, which takes place every spring at the DECHEMA House in Frankfurt am Main. Young university teachers who are about to complete their habilitation or have already completed it are addressed.
