The Mannagetta Prize for Medicine and the Advancement Awards have been awarded for the first time by the Austrian Academy of Sciences in a festive event which took place on March 21 in the Johannessaal of the ÖAW. The awards are named after the physician Johann Wilhelm Ritter von Mannagetta (1588-1666), who served as Rector of the University of Vienna and was personal physician to the Emperor Ferdinand II, Ferdinand III. as well as Leopold I. In 1661 he set up a foundation that exists to this day and supports prizes and scholarships in medicine, in the humanities, and social sciences.
