The Paul Niggli Medal is Switzerland’s most prestigious “young scientist award” in the Earth Sciences. It has been awarded annually since 1988 by the Paul Niggli Foundation, through a committee under the auspices of the Swiss Society of Mineralogy and Petrology, to young Swiss scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the research fields of mineralogy, crystal chemistry, petrology, resource geology, or exploration physics. The medal and prize are awarded yearly at the Swiss Geoscience Meeting.
