Gender and diversity issues play a major role in research. Did you write a successful final thesis or paper on these topics? Every year, the Senate Committee on Equal Opportunity awards two prizes for research publications on these issues.
Are your research activities concerned with the topic of gender and diversity? We want to make gender and diversity issues accessible to a broad public in academia and society.
The WOVEN Publish prize for outstanding publications is awarded annually to doctoral and post-doctoral students. The award is endowed with a prize money of EUR 500.
The publication is considered published if it has either undergone the peer review process or been printed. In the case of publications written in a language other than German or English, please submit a summary of approximately two pages in German or English.
