The Awardees
Since 2006, we honour the best engineering talents
In honour and remembrance of Prof. Zerna, since 2006, we are annually donating the Professor Zerna-Award to the department of civil and environmental engineering. The price is awarded respectively for the best Bachelor and Master thesis of the year, as well as the best preliminary diploma, diploma and the best doctorate.
