Rectorate Awards
The University of Münster confers a number of highly prestigious Rectorate Awards in recognition of outstanding achievements in research, teaching, learning and gender equality. All awards are presented at the annual New Year's Reception at the University of Münster or at other ceremonies. These prizes not only recognise and reward notable achievements, but also, perhaps more importantly, serve as an incentive and support for future projects. The Diversity Prize was presented for the first time in 2024. Applications for this year's prizes are now open. Announcements for the 2025 awards will begin in spring 2025.
