The range of entrepreneurship opportunities available at Bavarian universities is diverse. The Hochsprung Award has demonstrated this diversity every year since 2015. The award will be presented again this year. Institutions, as well as individuals such as employees, lecturers, and students at all public and private universities in Bavaria who are interested in entrepreneurship, are eligible to apply. The competition aims to highlight diverse concepts and make them transferable to other universities as best practice examples.
Not an ideas competition, but best practice
Important: The High Jump Award is not an ideas competition. Accordingly, only activities and measures that are already underway or will be initiated by the end of 2020 can be submitted.
Prize money totaling €5,000 will be awarded to the three best submissions. The jury will consider the following four criteria when evaluating all submitted applications:
- concept
- Degree of innovation
- Success
- Transferability
Application forms can be used until 18 October 2020If you have any further questions about this year’s High Jump Award, you can find the detailed Conditions of participation. The Award ceremony is planned for November 2020, when and where exactly will be announced.
