The Student Award from the heureka Foundation aims to support young researchers by honoring outstanding master’s theses on the topics of “Mobility and the Environment” or “Mobility and Optimization,” with prizes of €2,000 (1st prize), €1,000 (2nd prize), and €500 (3rd prize). For the 2025 Student Award, 23 high-quality theses were submitted from 17 universities in Germany and Austria, covering a broad interdisciplinary spectrum of mobility-related topics ranging from mathematical optimization to engineering and the social sciences. The awards were presented at the Forum Neue Mobilitätsformen (FONEMO) conference.
