ECI Prize
The ECI Prize is a prize awarded annually from 1986 onwards to an ecologist distinguished by outstanding and sustained scientific achievements. It is awarded by the Ecology Institute, a non-profit organization of research ecologists dedicated to fostering ecological knowledge and awareness.
The prize both honors the recipient and requires him or her to serve science and society by authoring a book to be published in the series 'Excellence in Ecology', published by Inter-Research and available at cost price. The ECI Prize carries an endowment of € 6,000. It is awarded by the International Ecology Institute in Germany jointly with the Otto Kinne Foundation. The award is given in terrestrial ecology, marine ecology and limnetic ecology interchangeably.
