The Green Office at TU Braunschweig is presenting the TUmorrow Awards 2026. Prizes will be awarded in the categories “Student Engagement,” “Outstanding Bachelor’s Thesis,” “Outstanding Master’s Thesis,” and “Outstanding Course,” each carrying a prize of €500.
With the TUmorrow Awards, we at the Green Office aim to encourage academic and volunteer engagement with the topic of sustainability. We hope these awards will give greater visibility to particularly high-quality initiatives and express our appreciation for them. The focus is on all three areas of sustainability, meaning that social issues can be highlighted alongside ecological and economic ones.
The prize money for the 2026 TUmorrow Awards is kindly provided by the Student Body of TU Braunschweig and funded by the “Teach for TUmorrow” project.
