Michael Prize

Presented bi-annually, this prize was originally set up to stimulate epilepsy research among young scientists in Germany. It has now developed into an international award for the best scientific and clinical research, promoting further development in epileptology.

The Michael Prize 2005 was awarded to Heidrun Potschka, Germany, and Jozsef Janszky, Hungary, during the Opening Ceremony of the 26th International Epilepsy Congress in Paris.
