Hans-Walter-Hennicke Lecture Competition

In remembrance of Prof. Dr. Hans-Walter Hennicke, the DKG has been awarding the Hans-Walter Hennicke Lecture Competition Award since 1995. With this prize, we honor the best lectures of young ceramists and academics on the topics of their final theses.

Participation is open to all graduates whose Bachelor, Master, Diploma or comparable final examination (no promotion) in the field of raw materials/ceramics at a college, academy or university, date back no longer than one year. Participation is free of charge for all speakers. It also includes participation in the DKG Annual Meeting and the Symposium for High-Performance Ceramics.

If some of the information is missing, your application may not be taken into account.
