Über die Auszeichnung

Mit den In Praxi Outstanding Thesis Awards zeichnen die Alumni der WHU Abschlussarbeiten von WHU-Absolventen aus, die in mehrfacher Hinsicht außergewöhnlich sind: Sie zeichnen sich akademisch aus, behandeln eine über die Wirtschaft hinausgehende, gesellschaftlich relevante Fragestellung, generieren neue Erkenntnisse und haben ein deutliches Wirkungspotenzial. Durch die Bekanntmachung der Preise erhöht In Praxi die Sichtbarkeit des gesellschaftlichen Einflusses der Hochschule über die WHU-Gemeinschaft hinaus.

Die In Praxi Outstanding Thesis Awards werden bei der alljährlich im September stattfindenden Abschlussfeier der WHU verliehen. Jede Auszeichnung ist mit einem Preis von 1.000 EUR dotiert. Darüber hinaus bietet In Praxi an, die Preisträger mit einem Mentor aus dem In Praxi-Netzwerk zu verbinden, der sie dabei unterstützt, die Gedanken und Ideen ihrer Abschlussarbeit weiterzuentwickeln und in die Praxis umzusetzen. Alle bisherigen Gewinner der In Praxi Outstanding Thesis Awards werden auf den Informationstafeln in der Zalando Lounge im In Praxi Learning Center präsentiert.

Im September 2024 wird In Praxi die 15. In Praxi Outstanding Thesis Awards vergeben: einen für eine BSc-Thesis und einen für eine MSc-Thesis. Der In Praxi MBA Outstanding Thesis Award 2023 wird im Frühjahr 2024 verliehen. 

Wir freuen uns auf zahlreiche Einreichungen aus allen WHU-Programmen!

Wenn Sie Interesse haben, wenden Sie sich bitte an unser Team unter award(at)in-praxi.org.
