ways2navigate mit Gender Award ausgezeichnet

Das Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Innovation und Technologie (BMVIT) vergab am 10. Mai 2010 erstmals den Gender Award an Projekte aus den Förderungsprogrammen “Intelligente Verkehrssysteme und Services plus” (IV2Splus) und TAKE OFF mit dem Ziel, die teilweise noch geringe Beteiligung von Wissenschafterinnen in den Forschungs- und Technologieprogrammen kontinuierlich zu steigern. Durch die Vorbildwirkung der prämierten Projekte soll die Bedeutung von Chancengleichheit und Gender-Aspekten in Forschung und Entwicklung (F&E) unterstrichen werden.

Wir freuen uns, dass zu den PreisträgerInnen des Gender Awards auch das Konsortium von ways2navigate gehört.

On December 11, 2009 the Geo Education Awards for excellent achievements in teaching in the field of geodesy at TU Vienna were awarded for the first time.

The selection process for the award is two-stage: the selection of nominees is based on the results of the student’s online teaching evaluation. The prize winners are choosen by the dean for academic affairs, the chairman of the committee for studies and two student representatives. The prize can be given to senior as well as junior teachers.

For the first Geo Education Awards ceremony the speakers were the dean for mathematics and geoinformation Prof. Dietmar Dorninger and the vice rector for academic affairs Prof. Adalbert Prechtl. In the first ceremony the awards were given for the previous two academic years.

We congratulate the winners and thank for their commitment!
