BioSC Supervision Award 2017

The next tender for the BioSC Supervision Award will take place in June 2017. With the Supervision Award, the Bioeconomy Science Center (BioSC) honors young academics for special achievements with regard to the quality of their supervision service for doctoral students. A panel of recognized scientists will select the three best applicants based on the submitted applications.

The expert committee decides primarily on the basis of the excellent support and the ability of the scientists to motivate students to think interdisciplinarily and thus beyond their own "specialist area". The high quality of the respective teaching activities is also included in the evaluation. The award is intended to improve the start-up requirements for the excellent career development of young researchers.

Core group leaders and graduates are eligible for the proposal. The winners will receive a prize of up to EUR 25,000 as well as a certificate during the 2nd BioSC Symposium. The competition takes place within the framework of the NRW Strategy Project BioSC.
