Awarding of the State and DAAD Prizes

On October 17, as part of the International Days, outstanding young scholars will once again be honored with the State Prizes and the DAAD Prize. The State Prizes are endowed by the governments of France, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Traditionally, the State Prizes are awarded together with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) Prize for special social and academic engagement. This year, Prof. Dr. Paul Geyer will furthermore be awarded the “Ordre des Palmes Académiques” as part of the ceremony. After the award ceremony, the Vice Rectorate for International Affairs invites all event guests to a reception in the Senate Hall.
