Hermine Heusler-Edenhuizen Prize for the best paper
Since the winter semester of 2018, School VI Medicine and Health Sciences has been awarding a "Hermine Heusler-Edenhuizen Prize" every semester. The prize is awarded for an outstanding published work by one or more members/affiliates of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. The Hermine Heusler-Edenhuizen Prize is awarded for the best publication from the previous year.
Hermine Heusler-Edenhuizen was a pioneering figure in the history of medicine in Germany. She was born in Germany (Pewsum/East Frisia) in 1872 and was the first woman to obtain a doctorate at a university in Germany and establish herself as a doctor.
In her own gynaecological practice in Berlin, Heusler-Edenhuizen dedicated her life to improving nursing care for women and children. She was a staunch advocate for women's rights, particularly against the criminalisation of abortion, and thus managed to make an important contribution to medical science as a woman in a male-dominated field. In addition, Heusler-Edenhuizen was co-founder and chairwoman of the Association of German Women Doctors and contributed to the development of social hygiene legislation and support for young female doctors. She thus paved the way for future female doctors and changed the face of medicine forever.
She died in 1955, leaving behind a legacy that is still of great importance today.
In order to better compare scientific work from different career stages, the prize is linked to early and advanced career stages.
Female scientists in the early stages of their careers (up to a maximum of 3 years after obtaining their doctorate or licence to practise medicine) can apply for the Hermine Heusler-Edenhuizen Prize with their own publication from the previous year by 28 February of each year.
Scientists in advanced career stages (up to postdoctoral qualification) can apply for the Hermine Heusler-Edenhuizen Prize with their publication from the previous year by 31 July of each year.
The decision is made by the Research Commission together with the Friends and Sponsors of University Medicine Northwest Association.
