Pneumologists have the opportunity to apply every three years – most recently in 2022. The aim is to promote innovative basic or clinical research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of lung and pleural infections. Projects focusing on coronaviruses are excluded in 2025 in order to give priority to other infections. The prize money can be used freely for research purposes.
