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.
