Awards and Distinctions
Awards for final theses and papers on gender issues
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.
WOVEN Honors: Award for outstanding final theses on gender- or diversity-related topics
WOVEN Publish: Awards for publications on gender and diversity 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.
