Dissertation Prizes of the University of Münster
The Dissertation Prizes serve to support the prizewinners' future research endeavours. All fifteen faculties of the University of Münster are invited to nominate their best dissertations from the current academic year for consideration. Each award comes with 3,500 euros in prize money which can also be used to finance a colloquium in Münster on the prizewinning research topic.
Up to fifteen doctoral candidates are eligible to receive the Dissertation Prize in recognition of their outstanding dissertations. The Rectorate is responsible for selecting the finalists at the recommendation of a special jury appointed by Rectorate Committee for Academic Personnel Development (RAP).
The submission deadline for 2024 has already expired on 11.10.2024. The new call for proposals is expected to be available here from March 2025.
