Werner von Siemens Excellence Award 2006

Darko Zikic, Tobias Lasser and Christoph Bichlmeier, three students of the CAMP chair, won this year's Werner von Siemens Excellence Award. The Werner von Siemens Excellence Award is presented every year to a set of selected German top university students. The objective is to encourage young people to demonstrate scientific excellence in dealing with practice-relevant questions. The award honors excellent final diploma theses, which provide innovative solutions to difficult problems. In addition to the evaluation of scientific achievements, the jury assesses the level of innovation and practicability of these excellent theses.
