An award presented to researchers under the age of 30 who have produced exceptional scientific work in one of the fields represented by the Leopoldina. First conferred in 1993, the prize is funded by a donation from former member and Cothenius Medal winner Karl Lohmann. Supported by the Leopoldina Academy Circle of Friends, from 2015 the award is endowed with 5.000 Euros and conferred to two scientists.
