GO Forschung Award
The GO Forschung Award is given to the best student thesis at the University of Bayreuth, which qualifies the student for a PhD (e.g. Master thesis). The student thesis has to fulfil at least one of the following two criteria:
- The thesis examines gender, gender relations and/or gender roles in an intersectional approach.
- The thesis contains a systematic, intersectional gender relevance check of the research object.
We welcome applications from research fields, in which the discussion of gender and gender relations or the implementation of gender relevance tests are not (yet) standard; this will be evaluated positively. The GO Forschung Award comes with a 500€ prize money and the winner will be announced at the yearly GeQuInDi event during the winter semester.The deadline for applications is 30 October 2025.
