Karl Marbe Award

Karl Marbe habilitated the first woman at the University of Würzburg in psychology. The prize is awarded annually for work published or accepted in the previous year by young female scientists (doctoral and postdoctoral candidates). The prize money serves to further support research. The prize is endowed with 1000 €.

Application: Submission of a published or accepted paper to the Institute's Women's Representative (in the case of several authors accompanied by a statement of the applicant's own contribution). A commission of the Institute of Psychology decides on the award based on an assessment of the scientific quality of the submitted paper.
