Rectorate Awards

The University of Münster awards a number of highly prestigious Rectorate Prizes in recognition of outstanding achievements in research, teaching, academics and gender equality. The Prizes are awarded at the annual New Year's reception at the University of Münster or other ceremonies. Not only do they acknowledge and reward remarkable achievements, but also – and perhaps more importantly – serve as an incentive and support for future projects. 2024 is the first time the Diversity Award has been awarded. The application deadlines for this year's prizes are now open. The announcements for the prizes to be awarded in 2025 will start in spring 2025.
