Meet the finalists competing for the €100,000 Early Career Einstein Foundation Award – championing research quality, transparency and reproducibility.

Join us to hear from outstanding early-career researchers – selected by an international jury as finalists for the prestigious Einstein Foundation Award for Promoting Quality in Research.

Thanks to the generous support of the BIH QUEST Center for Responsible Research, the Early Career Award category provides €100,000 to empower the winner to bring their vision to life.

Each finalist will pitch innovative, forward-thinking ideas aimed at strengthening the rigor, reliability, reproducibility, and transparency of research practices across disciplines – from the humanities and social sciences to the natural and life sciences. The event highlights how these visionary approaches can transform the ways knowledge is generated, shared, and evaluated – ultimately strengthening the integrity and openness of scientific inquiry. Following the presentations, the jury will deliberate and select the winner, who will receive €100,000 to bring their idea to fruition.

This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with the next generation of researchers who are shaping the future of science with integrity and creativity.
