The Augsburg academic award for intercultural studies which was launched in 1997 on the initiative of the founder of FILL e. V., the entrepreneur and later Augsburg Peace Prize winner Helmut Hartmann, honours outstanding achievements of young academics whose research deals with the intercultural reality in Germany and the related questions and challenges. The annual call for entries is aimed at all academic disciplines and aims to reward interdisciplinary and innovative qualification work in a special way. The awarding of the prize is intended to provide incentives for thematically relevant research and to promote intercultural issues in particular. This is linked to the concern that academia should provide research results that contribute to a better understanding of a society shaped by diversity and the forms of organisation that are becoming necessary here. The awarding of prizes to excellent young researchers emphasises the importance of intercultural studies for peaceful coexistence in open societies and supports and promotes scientific development in this regard.
