The ECI Prize is awarded to an ecologist distinguished by outstanding and sustained scientific achievements. The prize both honors the recipient and requires him or her to serve science and society by authoring a book taking into account the ECI’s aims.
The book is published in the series ‘Excellence in Ecology’ (EE) and made available worldwide on a non-profit basis. A large number of books are donated to libraries in less developed countries. EE books invite authors to present their personal experiences, insights and visions, to criticize freely, and to courageously formulate new scientific concepts. The ECI Prize carries an endowment of Euro 6000.
