Author: Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation

In 2019, the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation in Germany started the new series of binational Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Seminars with the aim to strengthen existing cooperation between scientists from Germany and a European partner country or to initiate new ones (see http://www.epsnews.eu/2019/10/physics-and-life/). These seminars were initially conducted in cooperation with the German Physical Society (DPG), which maintains close relations with the Physical Societies of France, United Kingdom and Poland and awards binational scientific prizes together with them. Therefore, the winners of these prizes were offered the opportunity to organise a binational seminar.

To further deepen cooperation with other European countries (and even worldwide) the Foundation has recently decided to lift the restriction to France, UK and Poland and to the winners of the binational prizes. Therefore, the Foundation welcomes applications from scientists in Germany and a partner country to a binational Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Seminar which can take place either in Germany or the partner country.
