The Ingrid Weiss/Horst Wiehe-Stiftung zur Förderung der Entomologie supports outstanding, exclusively entomological research by early-career scientists, typically before habilitation. Its award program appears to recognize high-quality, publication-based work in systematics, ecology, evolution, and morphology, with a strong emphasis on rigorous insect science rather than broad biodiversity advocacy. The foundation is especially relevant to researchers in Germany and Central Europe who are producing original taxonomic or evolutionary entomology studies.
Gives a prize-style research award rather than ongoing project grants, with nominations/submissions due by a set annual deadline. Awards are aimed at young scientists up to habilitation and appear to be based on outstanding entomological publications; grant size is a prize amount rather than a large research award.

This is a nomination-based prize program: candidates must be proposed by the deadline (listed as 15 October 2026 for the 2027 award cycle). Applicants should highlight a single outstanding, exclusively entomological work and clearly document early-career status; focus the submission on the scientific originality and entomology-specific contribution rather than broader institutional needs.
