Goal, subject and assessment criteria

In celebration of the university's 150th anniversary, the transfer potential of Mittweida's educational institutions ranging from the "Technikum" (institute of technology) through to the university of applied sciences is to be demonstrated by today's biggest accomplishments. For this purpose, outstanding academic theses and successful institutionalized transfer efforts in economy and society - especially the foundation of companies as a result of excellent study and research achievements - will be awarded a price. This applies to all of the university's current academic departments: engineering, science, economics, media studies and social sciences.
