In the framework of ITH's annual conferences also prizes
have been awarded.
The Kaethe Leichter State Prize,
called after an outstanding scholar, journalist and militant of the Austrian
labour movement, was founded in 1991 at the suggestion of ITH's founder
Herbert Steiner in order to honor merits for women's research. From 1991
to 1999 the prize was awarded during the opening ceremony of the Linz Conferences
of ITH.
Since 2004 have been awarded annually the René
Kuczynski Prize for outstanding publications on
the field of social and economic history, and the
Herbert Steiner Prize for the promotion
of scholarly contributions not yet published within the research fields
Resistance/Persecution/Exile in the time of Fascism and Nazi-rule and Labour
History.
