Apply for the university competition for the Bolzano Award.

The Rector of Charles University has announced the 31st annual Bolzano Award competition. This prestigious prize is awarded to students and graduates of all types of programs at Charles University for exceptionally innovative works with outstanding creative content, typically with an interdisciplinary thematic overlap, produced during their studies. The award is announced in three categories based on subject areas: social sciences including theology, natural sciences, and biomedical sciences. The award comes with a diploma and a monetary reward.

How to Enter? The rules for awarding the Bolzano Award are governed by the Statute of Awards for Students and Graduates of Charles University.
