The Helmholtz International Fellow Award is an award named after Hermann von Helmholtz[1] and awarded to "excellent researchers and science managers from abroad".[2]

Hermann von Helmhotz was a German physicist and physician who made significant contributions to several scientific fields, particularly hydrodynamic stability.[3]

Recipients of the award is rewarded with a EUR 20,000. The recipients are granted approval to conduct researches using the Helmholtz facilities.[4]

History

The award was first awarded in 2012 by the Helmholtz Association, the largest scientific association in Germany.[5][6]
