Achieving gender equality and improving the living conditions of women or promoting their social participation in all areas of life is a goal for society as a whole. The plurality of perspectives is highly suitable for uncovering existing deficits and pointing out practice-oriented solutions. Therefore, we welcome applications from all students regardless of their gender and regardless of their field of study.

  • For collaborative papers, all author:s must meet these first two requirements.
  • There is only one prize for all bachelor's degree programs, likewise only one prize for all master's degree programs.
  • The Equal Opportunity Commission decides on the winner of the prize.
  • In the evaluation, the thesis is considered first and foremost. Criteria are gender relevance, originality, interdisciplinarity and practical relevance.

The following must be submitted:

  • Letter of motivation (maximum half a page)
  • abstract of the thesis (maximum one page)
  • short statement of the first supervisor (maximum half a page)
  • transcript of grades
  • complete Bachelor or Master thesis (optional)
