CREAPOLIS Award
CREAPOLIS Award recognizes successful transfer
In order to promote the transfer of knowledge to companies and society, Coburg University of Applied Sciences has been presenting the CREAPOLIS Award for outstanding transfer since 2018.
The award was initiated by the Transfer and Entrepreneurship Department.
From interdisciplinary student projects to cooperation formats and events: Transfer activities are demonstrated in various forms of implementation.
A jury evaluates the submitted projects and selects the one that is characterized by particularly successful transfer.

The Tandem Prize was awarded again this year: Prof. Dr. Rainer Hirth from the Faculty of Design and Julius Möhrstedt from the Bad Staffelstein-based photovoltaic company IBC SOLAR were honored for their Circular Tiny House project.
The jury selected this project from a wide range of applications.
“With the Circular Tiny House project, you have succeeded in constructing a space-optimized, energy self-sufficient and environmentally friendly building together with over 50 students from the fields of architecture and interior design,” said Gast, praising the project on behalf of the jury.
He also thanked the other jury members Sylvia Endres, Managing Director of the Coburg Design Forum Upper Franconia, Frank Ebert, Managing Director of Oberfranken Offensiv and Siegmar Schnabel, Managing Director of the Coburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
The CREAPOLIS Award was once again presented this year for special cooperation between the university and the region.
“The award is named after CREAPOLIS, which has been actively promoting transfer activities between the university and external stakeholders in the region for five years now,” explained Gast.
Outstanding transfer projects are recognized – which is why the award is presented as a tandem prize to colleagues at the university and their cooperation partners.
