Werner Schwarze Fellowship for the Promotion of Amino Acid Research
In addition, the Evonik Foundation awards an annual Werner Schwarze Fellowship to young scientists conducting research in the field of amino acids. Werner Schwarze was an eminent chemist and researcher at the former Degussa AG. Among his main achievements was the development of D, L-methionine-now one of the key products in Evonik Industries portfolio. When Degussa AG celebrated „50 Years of Amino Acids for Animal Nutrition“ in September 1997, the company honored its former researcher by, among other things, establishing the Werner Schwarze Scholarship for the Promotion of Amino Acid Research, which is awarded annually up until today by the Evonik Foundation.
