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 im Rahmen der jeweiligen WHU-Abschlussfeiern 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 2025 wird eine MSc-Thesis mit dem 16. Outstanding Thesis Award ausgezeichnet.
Wir freuen uns auf zahlreiche Einreichungen aus den WHU-Programmen!
Wenn Du Interesse an einer Einreichung hast, wende Dich bitte via E-Mail an award(at)in-praxi.org an das In Praxi Team.
