10TH R. J. H. HINTELMANN SCIENTIFIC AWARD
FOR ZOOLOGICAL SYSTEMATICS

Established by Mrs. Elisabeth Hintelmann
in memory of her husband Robert J. H. Hintelmann

For outstanding achievements in zoological systematics, phylogenetics, 
faunistics or
zoogeography the association “Freunde der Zoologischen Staatssammlung 
München e.V.” has
the pleasure to announce the 10th R.J.H. Hintelmann Scientific Award. 
The prize has the value of
Euro 5,000.- and its target group are young post-graduate scientists. 
The price was awarded
annually since the year 2000 (see in the internet:

http://www.zsm.mwn.de/events/wiss_preise.htm).

This prize is awarded not only in appreciation of the previous 
scientific performance of the
applicant, but the prize-winner will also be given the opportunity to 
continue his/her research
work in coordination with the Zoologische Staatssammlung München (ZSM). 
This may be
carried out either by visiting the ZSM or by being provided with ZSM 
materials for work
elsewhere. The 10th R.J.H. Hintelmann Scientific Award will be presented 
in January, 16th,
2009 during a ceremony at the ZSM in Munich, where the prize-winner has 
to provide a short
lecture on his/her research topics.

Nominations may name any young post-graduate scientist with outstanding 
performance in the
fields mentioned above. The pertaining proposal or application should 
provide an account of the
candidate’s scientific achievement. In addition, curriculum vitae, list 
of publications, and
selected reprints (not more than five) have to be submitted (please 
submit in printed as well as
digital form, e.g. on CD-Rom). The submitted documents remain with the 
awarding association.
Candidates may be nominated by any zoologist; self-nomination and 
repetitive application in
several years are also possible. The prize-holder is elected on absolute 
majority basis by a jury
appointed by the executive committee of the “Freunde der Zoologischen 
Staatssammlung e.V.”
Depending on the quality of applications the association reserves the 
right to withhold the award
in any given year.
