Students or graduates who have written their final thesis in the field of sustainable development can submit applications for the Sustainability Award for Final Theses until 15.09.2024. The University of Tübingen has been awarding the prize since 2011.
The Sustainability Prize is awarded to final theses at Bachelor's and Master's level (or equivalent) that are dedicated to a topic of sustainable development in an outstanding manner. The prize is endowed with 300 euros for Bachelor's theses and 500 euros for Master's theses. This year, a prize for dissertations was also awarded for the first time, with prize money of 1,000 euros. The highlight of the event was the Sustainability Lecture.
The concept of the Sustainability Award was developed by the Advisory Board for Sustainable Development, which took up an idea from the student initiative Greening The University e.V. Tübingen. By offering and publicly awarding the prize, the university is creating incentives for scientific debate on the topic of sustainable development and making its relevance for society visible.
