The 1822 University Prize for Excellent Teaching


One of Goethe University's most important tasks is to promote a culture of appreciation for excellent teaching. To make this appreciation visible, Goethe University - together with the Foundation of the Frankfurter Sparkasse - has been awarding the 1822 University Prize for Excellent Teaching for over 20 years. Three prizes respectively endowed with 15,000 euros, 10,000 euros and 5,000 euros are awarded.


Nominations for the 1822 University Prize for Excellent Teaching can be submitted by students from all departments.


Criteria for the prize are innovation in teaching, exceptional quality of courses, and outstanding commitment to student support. Research-orientation, the linking of theory and practice, particular involvement in the introductory phase of studies as well as interdisciplinarity and diversity aspects are also taken into account.
