    GSLS Alumni Honoured at Foundation Celebration

    Of 20 doctoral prizes, 4 recipients are GSLS alumni

    Every year the University of Würzburg celebrates the ‘Stiftungsfest’, the Foundation Celebration which commemorates the original foundation of the university by Prince Bishop Johann von Egloffstein in 1402 and the second foundation by Prince Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn in 1582.  Outstanding doctoral theses which are either thematically relevant for Lower Franconia, or where the author has lived in the region for a longer period of time, have been honoured at this celebration for over 50 years.

    Each doctoral prize awarded by the Lower Franconian Memorial Year Foundation for Science is endowed with €500. Traditionally the prizes have been awarded directly to the University.  Eugen Ehmann, President of the Lower Franconian Government and University President Alfred Forchel conferred the prizes on the 20 prize winners on 13th May 2019.

    The GSLS is very proud that four prizes were awarded to our alumni this year: two in the area of the natural sciences and two in the field of medicine:
