German Society for Plant Sciences

Since 2014 early career scientists can apply for financial support to organise the so-called Eduard Strasburger Workshop.

[2] To support the next generation of qualified plant scientists DBG awards advancement and science prizes on a regular basis and offers travel allowances to participate in its conferences.

DBG also supports conferences in several plant science disciplines to foster participations of early career scientists.

[7] Besides these awards for early career scientists DBG bestows the Simon Schwendener Medal for meritious members who engaged in the society for the profit of all.

[8] DBG was founded in September 1882 at Eisenach, Germany,[9] and is among the oldest scientific societies for plant sciences in the world.
