Students or graduates who are writing (or have written) their final thesis in the field of sustainable development can still submit applications for the Sustainability Award for Final Theses until 15.09.2025. The University of Tübingen has been awarding the prize annually 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, for the second time, a prize for dissertations will also be awarded, which is endowed with 1,000 euros. The prizes are awarded in the fall as part of a festive event, the highlight of which is the Sustainability Lecture.
The concept of the Sustainability Award was developed by the Advisory Board for Sustainable Development, inspired by an idea from the student initiative Greening the University e.V. Tübingen. By establishing and publicly presenting this award, the university fosters incentives for scientific debate on the topic of sustainable development and highlights its relevance for society.
