In memory of Senator Dr. Adolf Messer, who would have turned 100 on April 6, 1978, the Messer family established the Adolf Messer Foundation in 1978.

In order to sponsor young scientists and their research in a targeted manner, the Adolf Messer Foundation has been awarding two prizes every year since 1994: One for students at Darmstadt Technical University and one for students at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main.

These prizes support the promotion of outstanding achievements in the areas of natural science, medicine, engineering science as well as economic and social sciences.
