ZEISS Women Award

Are you looking at new digital solutions as part of your thesis? Are you getting top grades and volunteering in your spare time (e.g. for a local club)? Then you should apply for the ZEISS Women Award!

The ZEISS Women Award honors successful young women in IT and serves as a platform to encourage more women to consider a career in the field. If you're a woman currently working on her bachelor's, master's or PhD thesis, then you're eligible to apply. The top three winners will receive staggered cash prizes. The award is sponsored by Mrs. Elke Buedenbender, wife of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

You can submit your application between 02 May and 30 June 2022. The three winners will be selected by a jury composed of successful women from the worlds of science and business. The awards will be presented at an event on 13 October in Dresden, and sponsored by Mrs. Elke Buedenbender.
