TUM Research Excellence Award – awarded by The Peter Pribilla Foundation

The bi-annual Research Excellence Award of the Peter Pribilla Foundation at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) honors significant scholarly contributions that advance our knowledge and understanding in the field of Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Leadership. Significant scholarly contributions may take the form of conceptual, theoretical, methodological, or empirical developments. Emerging scholars at the level of postdoctoral researchers as well as early career academics and tenure-track professors are eligible for the award. Typically, the award honors an entire body of research rather than individual contributions (e.g., individual articles or books).

Head of the awarding committee: Nicola Breugst (Technical University of Munich)
