Bernstein-CorTec-Award 2025: Call for Nominations is open

CorTec and the Bernstein Center Freiburg are pleased to announce the Bernstein-CorTec-Award 2025. The award recognizes outstanding scientific achievements in the interdisciplinary field of computational neuroscience and neurotechnology and will be awarded this year for a master’s thesis.

Promoting young talent

Since its introduction in 2020, the Bernstein-CorTec-Award has honored alternating Master’s and doctoral theses submitted to the University of Freiburg every year. With prize money of €1,000, the award supports innovative research at the interface of theory and application.

Who can apply?

Master’s theses submitted to the University of Freiburg after the last application period can be submitted. The thesis does not have to be published yet but should be of the quality of a publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Applications and nominations can be submitted by supervisors or lecturers; self-applications are also welcome.

Deadline and contact

Applications are accepted until the 30th of June. More information about the award and how to apply for the Bernstien-CorTec-Award 2025 can be found on the website of the Bernstein Center Freiburg. Bernstein-CorTec-Award 2025 – Call for Nominations — Bernstein Center Freiburg
