Our 4th annual HRD Grant Writing Challenge took place on Tuesday, July 29th, showcasing outstanding proposals and presentations from talented HRD doctoral researchers.
We are pleased to announce the winner:
Cristina Mencias from the Institute for Diabetes and Obesity, who won €6,000 in consumables to implement her research idea.
The jury faced a tough decision, as all submissions demonstrated a high standard of quality and research dedication. We would also like to highlight the strong contributions made in the other two final presentations by:
Robert Gutgesell (Institute for Diabetes and Obesity)

We extend our sincere thanks to the jury members — Dr. Tobias Schafmeier, Dr. Maike Becker, Dr. Minodora Brimpari and Dr. Laura Leonhardt — as well as to all participants who contributed to making this competition an exciting event!
