Sponsoring outstanding graduates
The Possehl Engineering Prize has been awarded every year since 1983 for outstanding work by graduates of Lübeck Technical University in the fields of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, Applied Natural Sciences, Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering & Economics. Over 100 prizes and distinctions have been awarded since the first ceremony.
Communicating science in an understandable way
Every autumn, the Possehl Foundation and Lübeck Technical University invite students to the Possehl Engineering Award ceremony. Approximately 5 to 10 of the 1,000 dissertations submitted to the Technical University each year are nominated for this award. The Possehl Prize is endowed with €5,000. A second prize of €3,000 and a third prize of €2,000 are also awarded. In addition to the written dissertation and the recommendation by the supervising professors, a short presentation is also included in the assessment for the Possehl Engineering Prize. In five-minute pitches, the nominees are given the opportunity to present their complex subject matter as clearly as possible to around one hundred guests in the Bauforum of the Technical University. The jury selects the winners immediately afterwards.
