LMU Teaching Innovation Award
The LMU Teaching Innovation Award, endowed with 10,000 euros, honours lecturers who design and implement particularly innovative courses or teaching and assessment concepts.
Previous award recipients have, for example, developed courses that motivate students to work across disciplinary boundaries or created special formats that link academic study with professional practice.
The award is presented at LMU’s annual Day of Good Teaching, and since 2021 one of the prizes has been sponsored by the Munich University Society.
