The Hans Walz Foundation at the Robert Bosch Stiftung announces herewith the Hans Walz prize for studies on the history of homeopathy which originated outside the Institute for the History of Medicine of the Robert Bosch Stiftung.

The language can be German, English, or French. The prize amounts to 1.500 Euro.

The winner of the prize will be chosen by a jury. Last years' winners came from Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. The prize will be awarded at the end of the year 2017 in Stuttgart.
