University of Salzburg - Hans Stegbuchner award

Hans Stegbuchner Award

For an outstanding final thesis in mathematics at the University of Salzburg, you will receive a one-off cash prize. The exact amount of the prize varies from year to year and depends on the type of thesis, with doctoral theses carrying a higher prize than Master’s theses. The Department of Mathematics awards the prize once a year, and the Raiffeisenverband Salzburg provides the prize money. Your thesis will also be presented at a ceremony, during which your supervisor will deliver a laudatory speech.

Who can apply

• University: You have completed your degree at the University of Salzburg (PLUS).
• Field of study: You studied mathematics. This award applies exclusively to the Department of Mathematics.
• Type of work: You wrote an outstanding Master's thesis, diploma thesis or doctoral dissertation.
• Study phase: You have completed your degree. The degree recognises the work you have already completed, not work that is still in progress.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.

How to apply

The Department of Mathematics selects the prize winners itself, so there is no open online application process. If you believe that your final-year dissertation meets the criteria, please contact the department’s secretariat to enquire about the current round of applications.
