The Harald Rose-Prize commemorates the scientific work of Harald Rose. In the late 1980s, Rose came up with an ingenious concept which for the first time made atoms visible for electron microscopy. Rose brought his concept to life together with his colleagues Maximilian Haider and Knut Urban. In 2011, they were awared with the Wolf Prize, which in the field of physics is considered the most prestigious award after the Nobel Prize.
In 2015, on the occasion of Professor Roses’s 80th birthday, the CEOS - Correlated Electron Optical Systems – GmbH donated the Harald Rose-Prize in honour of his pioneering research in the development of electron microscopy.
