Since 2016, the German committee of World University Service (WUS) honors graduates at German universities – from all scientific areas – who have dealt with one of the following topics of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda 2030 of the United Nations in their final theses:
- Education for Sustainable Development
- Global Learning
- Human Right to Education
- Migration/Asylum (till 2020)
The prize is embedded in the National German Action Plan for the World Action Plan for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and is donated by the former Herder Club, Dresden.
An independent jury decides on the awarding of the prize and the winner will be honoured at a ceremony. The submitted works can be published in the e-library of the WUS Website.
The red button leads to the e-library of the submitted theses of the last years on our German website. Enjoy browsing and reading!
