hereThe invention of the laser in the middle of the twentieth century was a quantum leap: light could now be tailored to specific needs, working very precisely and without physical contact. The advancement and acknowledgement of outstanding development and scientific work on the application or generation of laser light is one of the objectives of the Berthold Leibinger Stiftung.
The Berthold Leibinger Innovationspreis has been called for internationally since 2000. It was complemented in 2006 with the Berthold Leibinger Zukunftspreis for research. Both prizes are presented every two years at the award ceremony, an established event and meeting place of the large laser community of researchers and users with representatives of industry, politics, and society.
honors scientists and developers, who make advancements in the field of laser technology. Since 2000, the Berthold Leibinger Stiftung has awarded this prize every two years for excellent research and development work on the application or generation of laser light.
Among all applications and recommendations, the jury nominates the best and most deserving work in the field. The jury is made up of respected experts from science and industry. The finalists are invited by the Berthold Leibinger Stiftung to a jury meeting to present their work in person.
