New blog post on the Commitment Award 2026

The Commitment Award, presented by the Willy Brandt School of Public Policy in collaboration with the "Engagementpreis" Foundation, demonstrates that studying at the University of Erfurt can have an impact on society and bring about change – this year as part of the Farewell Ceremony, at which the Brandt School bid farewell to its graduates of the 2024–26 cohort at the Collegium Maius.

The aim of the prize is to provide start-up funding for sustainable ideas and social projects, as the winners each receive prize money of 1,000 euros as ‘start-up capital’ to implement their project. At the same time, students at the Brandt School can use their initiatives to demonstrate what they have learnt during their Master’s programme. Markus Pins from the Engagementpreis Foundation – the prize’s initiator and a long-standing university lecturer in public sector ethics – has now presented the awards and introduced the winning projects.
