    Young generation scientists are one of the main target groups the activities of the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation are addressed to. Therefore, in 1989, the foundation together with the DPG established a programme that gives young physicists in an early period of their scientific career (Master, Diplom or PhD thesis) the opportunity to present their own scientific results to a censorious audience.
