The expert committee decides primarily on the basis of the excellent supervision and the ability of the scientists to motivate students and doctoral candidates to think interdisciplinary and thus also beyond their own "specialist area". The high quality of the teaching activities performed is also included in the evaluation. The aim of the award is to improve the starting conditions for excellent career development for young scientists.
