Johanna Mestorf Award 2019

The ‘Johanna Mestorf Award’ for Socio-Environmental Research and Landscape Archaeology

This award for outstanding dissertations dealing with an area of socio-environmental research and landscape archaeology of past societies is open to young researchers of all scientific fields. It is endowed with a prize of € 3.000 by the Johanna Mestorf Academy (JMA), the Graduate School ‘Human Development in Landscapes’ (GSHDL), the CRC 1266 ‘Scales of Transformation’ (CRC) and the new Cluster of Excellence ‘ROOTS’ at Kiel University.

A young researcher with an outstanding dissertation that was completed not more than two years before the time of application can be nominated for the award by professors and supervisors within the JMA/GSHDL/CRC/ROOTS as well as by associated national and international partners of the Graduate School through the submission of a letter of recommendation.

The prize can only be awarded in the presence of the awardee. The presentation of the Johanna Mestorf Award will take place on 11 March, 2019 at the open workshop “Socio-Environmental Dynamics over the Last 15,000 Years: The Creation of Landscapes VI” in Kiel.
