About the Sartorius Eureka Grant
Big discoveries often begin with one missing experiment, one critical dataset, or one final push toward publication.
The Sartorius Eureka Grant was created to help researchers move promising ideas into real scientific impact.
In 2026, Sartorius will award EUR 5,000 to one selected researcher to help bring your research one step closer to its breakthrough moment.
