Call for applications

The Swiss Society for the History of Medicine and Science invites applications for the Henry-E.-Sigerist-Prize for the promotion of early career scholars in the history of medicine and science.


The prize was founded in 1967 by Mr. and Mrs. Guggenheim-Schnurr from Basel in order to award outstanding young scholars in the field of history of medicine and science. It is conferred by a jury on behalf of the Swiss Society of the History of Medicine and Sciences.

Applicants should submit studies completed within the last two years, i.e. 

dissertations
printed books
other significant scientific works.

The texts have to be written in German, French, Italian or English and to be related to Switzerland by content, authorship or institution. Work which has previously been awarded a prize is not eligible. Postdoctoral candidates should have received their doctoral degree within the last 8 years. Dissertations and books have to be accompanied by a summary of no more than five pages.

The prize amounts to CHF 2000.
