The Otto Bayer Medal is presented every two years at the annual Bayer Science Day, which is attended by about 800 researchers. The wide spectrum of projects recognized by the award underlines the overriding importance of research at the Group.

The Otto Bayer Medal is awarded in memory of the inventor of polyurethane chemistry and former Head of Research at Bayer AG, Professor Otto Bayer (no relation to the company founder), who died in 1982. Otto Bayer promoted intensive dialogue with higher education institutions and supported university education. A total of 528 researchers from the Bayer Group have received this medal since 1984.

The Otto Bayer Medal should not be confused with the Otto Bayer Award.
