By awarding the  Hans Mühlenhoff prizes for good academic teaching, Osnabrück University and the Hans Mühlenhoff Foundation want to highlight the importance of good academic teaching and encourage lecturers in their commitment to good teaching. The 1st prize of the Hans Mühlenhoff Award for Good Academic Teaching is endowed with 2,500 euros, the 2nd prize with 1,500 euros and the 3rd prize with 1,000 euros.

All students are invited to make it clear through their nominations who they feel has particularly supported them in their studies. All current lecturers at Osnabrück University (full-time lecturers and lecturers) can be nominated for the prizes.

The prizes for good academic teaching should focus on the interests of the students. For this reason, students not only play an essential role in the nomination process, but also in the selection of the award winners. The jury is made up of students with tutorial experience and members of the Standing Working Group on Teaching. Students and teaching staff decide on the nominations on an equal basis.

Save the Date!

The teaching awards ceremony will take place on 26 June 2025 at 5 p.m. in the Helikoniensaal of the Bohnenkamp House in the Botanical Garden. In addition to the nominated academics, all nominators and the interested university public are invited to attend.

The proposals must be justified in detail and must be supported by at least five students. The justification should not exceed three DIN A4 pages. Please send the documents within the specified deadline and only by e-mail to  daniela.raeuwer@uni-osnabrueck.de.
