Felix-Bloch Lectureship
The Division of Magnetic Resonance of the German Chemical Society (GDCh) generally awards the Felix-Bloch Lectureship annually, recognising outstanding achievements by more established early-career researchers in the field of magnetic resonance over the preceding five years, as demonstrated by scientific publications. The award includes a certificate and prize money of 1000 euros. The awardee generally gives four lectures, the first of which is delivered immediately after the award ceremony, held as part of the Division conference FGMR Annual Discussion Meeting.
Award committee: Chairs of the previous, current and subsequent FGMR Annual Discussion Meetings
The prize is not currently open for applications (next call for proposals: early 2027).
