Emanuel Merck Lectureship
{{Short description|Chemistry research award conferred by Technische Universität Darmstadt and Merck KGaA}}
The Emanuel Merck Lectureship was founded in 1992 by Technische Universität Darmstadt and Merck KGaA located in Darmstadt, Germany. The lectureship aspires to enlighten scientists and students at Technische Universität Darmstadt, as well as Merck KGaA employees and interested public with leading scientific research in chemistry.[https://www.merckgroup.com/en/research/grants-and-awards/emanuel-merck-lectureship.html Merck Group]
The award honors Heinrich Emanuel Merck (1794–1855) the founder of Merck, an entrepreneur, an original experimenter and a successful scientist.
Emanuel Merck maintained membership in many scientific associations and held many personal relationships with leading researchers of his era, including Justus von Liebig, Friedrich Wöhler, Max von Pettenkofer and Louis Pasteur. The Emanuel Merck Lectureship attempts to continue this tradition of international exchange between researchers.
The lectures are held over multiple days. The lectures include lectures that are open to the public, lectures for a closed audience and seminars for students.{{cite web|url=https://www.emdgroup.com/en/research/grants-and-awards/emanuel-merck-lectureship.html|title=Emanuel Merck Lectureship – Research – Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany|website=Emdgroup.com}}{{cite web|url=https://www.chemie.tu-darmstadt.de/media/chemie/aktuelles_2/emanuel_merck_2013/Emanuel_Merck_Preis_2017_Motiv_A_Poster_A3_WEB.pdf |title=Award list |publisher=www.chemie.tu-darmstadt.de |date=2017 |accessdate=2019-12-23}}{{cite web |url=https://www.chemie.tu-darmstadt.de/media/chemie/aktuelles_2/emanuel_merck/Poster_Paul_Anastas.pdf |title=503_053 POSTER Paul Anastas.indd |format=PDF |date= |accessdate=2019-12-23 |archive-date=2019-07-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190725192913/https://www.chemie.tu-darmstadt.de/media/chemie/aktuelles_2/emanuel_merck/Poster_Paul_Anastas.pdf |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |url=https://www.chemie.tu-darmstadt.de/media/chemie/aktuelles_2/emanuel_merck/Programm_Emanuel_Merck_2011.pdf |title=Award list |publisher=www.chemie.tu-darmstadt.de |date=2011 |accessdate=2019-12-23 |archive-date=2021-12-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211223164543/https://www.chemie.tu-darmstadt.de/media/chemie/aktuelles_2/emanuel_merck/Programm_Emanuel_Merck_2011.pdf |url-status=dead }} The invitation includes travel and a cash prize (€30,000) for speakers.{{cite web|url=http://www.chemeurope.com/en/news/152703/paul-t-anastas-awarded-emanuel-merck-lectureship-2015.html|title=Paul T.
