As part of a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of the research institute, the Society of Friends and Patrons of the ZZF in Potsdam awarded its first ever “Digital Contemporary History Prize” (Zeitgeschichte digital-Preis) on October 12, 2017 to recognize the contribution that most successfully combined digital tools and online-presentation technologies with a convincing hypothesis and surprising results.
