Leopold Kunschak Prize
The Leopold-Kunschak-Prize is awarded annually since 1965 by the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) for distinguished works on the areas of Human sciences, Social science and Economics. Further, complimentary awards are awarded. The prize is named after the Austrian politician Leopold Kunschak (1871–1953) of the Christian Social Party of Austria. The awarding is held annually in March, on Kunschak's day of death. Wolfgang Mazal is president of the scientific commission for appraisal.
