Emil-Fischer-Fellowship-Programme (EFF)

Emil-Fischer-Fellowship-Programm der Fakultät

The programme

In an effort to provide active support for early career lecturers, the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy launched its Emil Fischer Fellowship Programme in 2011.

The Programme was also designed to provide an incentive for researchers to deliver excellence from the start of their careers. For this purpose, outstanding junior researchers who have demonstrated their ability to develop promising approaches to research in their fields are entrusted with independent responsibility for their research and teaching activities at an early stage of their careers. Emil Fischer Fellows have many of the rights that Junior Professors have.

Emil Fischer acquired his reputation as a chemist with his studies on sugars at Würzburg. In 1902, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on carbohydrates and purines.
