Open-knowledge reference entry
The Schwäbisch Gmünd Prize for Young Scientists is an annual award given by the European Academy of Surface Technology (EAST) to an early career researcher active in Europe on the grounds of originality, creativity and excellence in surface technology.

The prize is presented in a public lecture during an event sponsored by or co-organised by EAST, such as electrochemistry, corrosion or surface finishing related conferences.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Schwäbisch Gmünd Prize”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 17, 2021. The linked authority identifier is Q85799982. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1989.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
