The GSCN Awards are annual scientific prizes for stem cell researchers. The GSCN started with their awards in 2015 with the aim to annnounce and strengthen extraordinary success for specific groups:
 The GSCN Young Investigator Award goes to a young scientist, the candidate should be within 12 years after the doctorate degree and in a non-tenured faculty (independent) position. GSCN membership is not required.
The GSCN Hilde Mangold Award  goes to an outstanding female scientist who is an excellent scientist and whose performance can serve as a role model and encouragement to young female scientists.
The GSCN Publication of the Year is an award for an excellent publication in stem cell fields, published in the past year with the work carried out in an institution in Germany.

Everybody can suggest online an GSCN Awardee. A top-class commission will support the GSCN in choosing each year´s awardees. The three ­awardees will give a presentation in the Presidential Symposium at the annual GSCN Conference.

Awarded annually, the GSCN Female Scientist Award has now been rebranded as the GSCN Hilde Mangold Award. The new name is in recognition of German embryologist Hilde Mangold (born October 20, 1898, in Gotha; died September 4, 1924, in Berlin). Mangold performed key experiments which paved the way for the discovery of the embryonic organizer, thereby playing a seminal role in the development of embryology. Her early death in a tragic accident prevented her from being honored together with Hans Spemann when the latter was awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the organizer effect in 1935.
The annual GSCN science prize is bestowed on outstanding female stem cell researchers. In addition to scientific achievement, the jury also aims to recognize the award winner’s achievement as a role model for young female scientists. As before, women continue to be underrepresented in stem cell research leadership positions at universities and research institutes.
