The Award
The Egon-Stahl-Award in Gold is the highest scientific honour of the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA). It can be awarded every third year beginning in the year 1999.
The Egon-Stahl-Award in Gold acknowledges the outstanding scientific lifetime work of a research scientist who has been closely attached to Pharmaceutical Biology (Pharmacognosy, Chemistry of Natural Products), in its whole range, through his scientific work.
The prize will be awarded during the annual congress of the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research in such a way that a special ceremony can be held. The candidate will have the opportunity to present a scientific contribution. The congress fee will therefore be waived for the awardee.
