Dissertation Awards 2026
Leuphana University of Lüneburg confers up to five Dissertation Awards each year to honour remarkable academic achievements in the field of the doctorate. These awards recognise outstanding research work submitted and defended by doctoral candidates at one of Leuphana's five schools within one academic year. The Dissertation Awards provide the winners with visible recognition for their future careers.
The presentation of the Dissertation Awards 2026 takes place at the graduation ceremony on November 14, 2026, in the Audimax of Leuphana's central building.
The ceremony will be followed by an informal get-together of the award winners and their families, along with supervisors, the Graduate School, and other university representatives, during which the award winners will have the opportunity to give a brief thematic insight into their dissertations or research topics in a 3-minute pitch format.
This year’s award winners will be featured on this page soon.
