Bernstein-CorTec Award

We are very proud that in 2020, the Bernstein-CorTec-Award will be awarded for the first time to to honor outstanding scientific achievements at the University Freiburg. The cooperation between CorTec and the Bernstein Center Freiburg makes it possible to award a prize money of 1000 € to master theses and doctoral theses in the interdisciplinary field of Neurotechnology and Computational Neuroscience.

Research is of utmost importance for the development of new technologies and the improvement of existing systems. It is therefore all the more important for CorTec to support the necessary research that might in future enable new therapies for a broad range of neurological diseases.

“We at the Bernstein Center Freiburg are very happy that we were able to realize this important award for the promotion of our young scientists with the active support of the company CorTec. I am especially pleased that the CEO of CorTec, Dr. Jörn Rickert, once one of our own young scientists, played such a constructive role.”, comments Prof. Dr. Ad Aertsen, Bernstein Center Freiburg.
