The “Lectureship Professor Bernhard Heß” award is presented annually by the Bernhard Heß University Foundation in the Department of Physics and honors outstanding external early-career researchers with a one-time grant of €2,000. The award ceremony takes place during the festive “Day of Physics” at the University of Regensburg and recognizes scientific excellence as well as innovative research approaches. The award includes an invitation to contribute expertise as a guest lecturer through guest lectures, thereby enriching the university’s teaching program with current impulses. This initiative not only promotes individual achievements but also helps to intensify professional exchange between renowned research institutions and students.
