Since 1989, the Richard-von-Mises Prize is awarded every year by GAMM to a scientist for exceptional scientific achievements in the field of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics. Traditionally, GAMM will present the prize during the opening ceremony of the GAMM Annual Meeting and the prize winner will present her/his research in a plenary talk. The aim of the prize is to reward and encourage young scientists whose research represents a major advancement in the field of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics.
