Doctoral Student Award
To motivate doctoral students and to honour extraordinary achievements, the Graduate School awards a Doctoral Student Award to outstanding students every year on our Graduation Day. Awards are conferred for excellent research as documented in publications or as talks given at international scientific conferences, and for the development and implementation of innovative methods. Interdisciplinary projects are given preferential consideration. The award amounts to € 2,500 and is presented to the doctoral student in person. The price can be split and thereby be awarded to more than one person. The recipients are free to use it for any purpose that helps to promote their career.
