Research and Innovation Awards

The scientists and researchers at Paracelsus Medical Private University conduct science and research at an internationally high level.

For this purpose, the Research and Innovation Awards (RIA) are awarded once a year. They replace the “Paracelsus Wissenschaftspreise” previously awarded and focus in a few categories on people and projects who particularly stand out.

Starting in 2021, prizes will be awarded in the following categories every year:

  • Rising Scientist Award (m/f)
  • Best First Author Publication in a top ranked Journal (m/f) (3 publications each in Salzburg, 1 publication each in Nuremberg)
  • Researcher of the Year (m/f)

For each year, individual priorities will then be set, in 2023 prizes will be awarded in these additional categories:

  • Outstanding Performance in Innovation and Translation (in Salzburg)
  • Most cited Publication of a Rising Scientist, cited since 2019 (m/f)
