The award is open to those researchers who completed their Ph.D. recently (within a span of 5 years) and are engaged in graduate education and research activities that emphasize sustainable development. Winners were chosen on the basis of 3 criteria: number of citations, number and quality of publications and patents, and documented social impact. All qualified applications were evaluated by an international panel of three recognized experts in Sustainable Development.
Winners receive a cash award from ProSPER.Net-Scopus and are offered a fellowship from the International Bureau of the German Ministry of Education and Research.
