Prizes
The Erwin Marx Award is awarded for contributions by individual engineers to pulsed power technology.[2] It was awarded for the first time in 1981 at the 3rd IEEE International Pulsed Power Conference.[3]
The VDE local chapter Braunschweig awards an annual "Erwin-Marx-Prize" to successful graduates from the Braunschweig University of Technology and/or the Ostfalia Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften.[citation needed]
