Haitinger Prize

The Haitinger Prize of the Austrian Academy of Sciences was founded in 1904 by the chemist and factory director, Ludwig Camillo Haitinger (1860-1945), who created the award in honor of his father,^[1] Karl Ludwig Haitinger. From 1905 to 1943 it was awarded every year,^[2] for "studies in chemistry and physics that proved to be of great practical use for industrial applications".^[3] The prize was awarded for the last time in the year 1954.
