Dr. Guillermo Bazan Named one of ten Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award Winners for 2005

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation grants approximately 10 Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Awards annually to young, top-flight scientists and scholars from abroad who are already recognized as outstanding researchers in their fields. The research award has been endowed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in recognition of their research achievements to date. The award-winners are also invited to work on research projects of their own choice in cooperation with colleagues in Germany for periods of between six months and one year.

The initiative for bestowing a Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award (nomination) must be taken by established researchers working at universities or other research institutions in Germany.
