Günther Grüning Prize
The Günther Grüning Prize, sponsored by the State Association of Test Engineers for Structural Engineering in Saxony, is awarded annually for outstanding project work (from the 9th semester) or diploma theses with topics in the following areas:
- Future-oriented verification methods for stability, serviceability and reliability of structures
- Development of simulation models and numerical methods for structural analysis
- Contributions to the safety assessment of structures.
The prize is endowed with 2000 euros.
