Are you a young engineer - and does your master/doctoral thesis focus on virtual product creation? Are you interested in introducing you ideas to representatives of leading manufactures and IT companies?
prostep ivip promotes tomorrow’s PLM talents with €1,000 (bachelor's/master's thesis) or €4,000 (doctoral thesis) with the prostep ivip Scientific Award
prostep ivip bundles the interests of manufacturers and suppliers in the manufacturing industry as well as IT vendors, in close cooperation with research and science institutes, to provide its members with the long-term competitive advantages that more efficient processes, methods and systems enable. The association remains committed to developing new approaches for end-to-end process, system and data integration for its members and providing digital support for all the phases of the product creation process.
Any interested candidate who has submitted his/her diploma/master/doctoral thesis to a university by 31 January 2024 on a topic related to virtual product creation.
Theses written in German or English are eligible for submission, providing they do not fall under any conditions of non-disclosure. Please provide the graded thesis and the related opinion letter of the supervising professor.
The prostep ivip Scientific Award Jury will pick the winners from the submitted theses. The decision-makers include Chairman of the Board Dr. Henrik Weimer (AIRBUS), Prof. Dr. Rainer Stark (TU Berlin), Philipp Wibbing (UNITY), Thomas Kamla (Volkswagen), Jens Poggenburg (AVL) as well as Tomohiko Adachi (Mazda Motor Corporation).
In addition to the prize money (1,000 € diploma/master thesis or 4,000 € doctoral thesis), we offer the winner in the field of doctoral thesis the opportunity to become part of the prostep ivip symposium and to report on the results of their studies as part of the "Scientific Track". A unique chance to leave a lasting impression on an expert audience and thus potential future employers!
