The winning theses combine scientific excellence with high practical relevance — ranging from AI-supported flood predictions and sustainable materials engineering to digitalization solutions and optimization methods in industrial production.

The award ceremony impressively demonstrates the strong spirit of collaboration between the university, companies, and regional partners. My thanks go to the VDI Siegen District Association, ZESS, and all those involved who support the next generation of engineers with great dedication.

We wish all the award winners continued success on their future paths!
