The CDG Award for Research and Innovation was established in 2020 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Christian Doppler Forschungsgesellschaft. It is endowed with 40,000 euros and honors active or former heads of CD Laboratories or JR Centres who have been able to implement the basic idea of the Christian Doppler Forschungsgesellschaft in an outstanding manner:
- Outstanding findings in application-oriented basic research
- Strengthening the innovative power and competitiveness of corporate partners
The award winners thus also demonstrate the great importance of CD Laboratories and JR Centres for securing Austria as a research and business location in the long term.
The trophy was designed by Florian Ziller and Fatemeh Naderi and visualizes the Doppler effect.
