The SIBYLLE-RIED-PREIS has been awarded in German-speaking countries since 2001; it is named after Dr. medical Sibylle Ried (29. Aug. 1956 – 14. Jun. 2000).

The prize is endowed with € 2,500 and is awarded every two years at the joint annual conference of the German, Austrian, and Swiss section of the International League Against Epilepsy.
