Any woman at the university who stands out for her commitment and dedication - be it in the social or professional area - can be nominated.
Since 2018, men have also been honored for their commitment to equal opportunities and the promotion of young women and female employees. The Heine-women and Heine-men are honored for their achievements at our university.
Our Mrs. Neyer is H E I N E – W O M A N of the year 2018 !!!!
Here is a small excerpt from the anniversary edition of my H E I N E -W O M A N 2018:
"Our professor Dr. Ulrike Neyer is the best professor I know. “, Enthuses economics student Lisa Netzler, who suggested Mrs. Neyer as the Heine woman. Professor Neyer understood what students need and can be approached by anyone at any time. She always gives you the feeling of being perceived as an individual personality - even in a crowded lecture hall: “Mrs. Neyer makes sure that each student feels acknowledged and is engaged in the lecture”, says the nominee.
We - the entire team of the chair - are very proud of our boss and this great award!
A special feature of the HHU teaching award is that university committees do not act “among themselves” here - the right to nominate individuals for this award lies solely with the students. In the sense of a sustainable promotion of quality and innovation in academic teaching, particularly dedicated instructors are recognized.
• Outstanding achievements in teaching are recognized (not in doctoral training).
• All lecturers (including assistant lecturers) at Heinrich Heine University can be nominated.
• The prize is awarded in four categories, each endowed with € 10,000: Large events with a mediating character (e.g. lectures); Small events with a participatory character (e.g. exercise, seminar, internship); Young scientists (temporary employment, no Venia Legendi); eLearning (Hein@ward)
• The prize money can be used by the prize winners for teaching or for their own further training in higher education didactics.
Mrs. Neyer was nominated for the teaching award both in 2009 and again in 2018 - the students simply love her professional skills, her rousing lectures paired with a lot of personal commitment to each individual! We, the team at her Chair, are very happy about the nomination of Mrs. Neyer and are very proud of our boss!
In November each year, the teaching award is awarded as part of the “Day of Teaching”!
