Research with impact!

Research is not an end in itself. Ultimately, it must have an impact on society, politics, culture or the economy for its purpose to fully unfold. And that is what the UGB Transfer Prize created by Universitätsgesellschaft Bonn (UGB) is all about. The 10,000-euro Prize is awarded in recognition of projects through which University of Bonn staff and students effectively transfer knowledge in innovative yet practical ways so as to visibly benefit society at large.

For the prize contest, transfer projects that make a difference are sought. Transfer can take many forms besides finding applications for scientific advances, including when research serves as a catalyst for societal change, cultural engagement or political participation. To qualify projects must have impact beyond the confines of theory and academia, radiating into the wider world.

 

Apply now and demonstrate the merits of your project!

 

University of Bonn staff who have managed a completed transfer project or are managing a transfer project nearing completion are eligible to apply, either individually or as a team. The winning projects receive 10,000 euros in prize funding. An award ceremony will be held in winter 2025.
