Congratulations to all.
Nina Hartrampf, Professor at the Department of Chemistry and DSI member, has been awarded the Werner Prize 2026 of the Swiss Chemical Society (SCS). The Werner Prize is one of the most prestigious awards for early-career researchers in chemistry in Switzerland.
Sascha Schneider, DSI Professor of Educational Technology and Chair of the DSI Community Education, ranks 31st in the study «Identifying the 50 most productive researchers in top-tier, broad-scope educational psychology journals (2017–2022).» As highlighted in the recent «Frontiers in Psychology» article, this ranking was derived from an extensive analysis of more than 7000 articles and over 4400 authors across leading journals, acknowledging scholars who have made exceptional and sustained research contributions.
Philipp Homan, a member of the medical faculty at UZH and deputy director of the University Hospital of Psychiatry (PUK), where he also serves as chief physician, is receiving the 2026 Hirnliga Reseach Award together with Wolfgang Omlor, a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Psychiatric Research at UZH and an attending physician at PUK, for their work in schizophrednia research.
