Sustainability Awards
With its Sustainability Awards, the Lyceum Foundation Bamberg recognises outstanding accomplishments in the field of sustainability in research, exceptional initiatives or achievements in academic studies or teaching as well as in campus management. Once a year, three awards are conferred if the prerequisites and criteria are met. Awards are not conferred unless the prerequisites and criteria are met. Each award is endowed with 1,000 euros.
The awards are for members of the university in one of the following categories
Research

or
Academic studies and teaching

or
