HUTTER Young Researcher Paper Award 2026

The Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences announces the “HUTTER Young Researcher Paper Award” every year. Before “ideas & more GmbH” changed its name to “HUTTER GmbH”, the prize was announced as “ideas & more Young Research Paper Award”. The competition is aimed at young researchers of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences. The prize is awarded for publications that appeared in high-ranking national or international journals or were accepted for publication in the previous year, that were not co-authored with a head of department at the University of Hohenheim and where there is a link between the publication and its author with the University of Hohenheim through unambiguous information in the affiliation.

The prize money of 1,000,- EUR is donated by the company HUTTER GmbH (owner Mr. Christian Hutter) and is divisible. In addition to the prize money, the winner will receive a certificate, which will be presented by the Rector of the University of Hohenheim during the Dies academicus.
