Prize Parade 2024

Winners Olive Award 2024 jury- and public award

European Studies 
Faculty Management & Organisation
Team Gender and Sexuality in Europe

Motivation of the professional jury

The European Studies programme has demonstrated with this module how inclusive education can be put into practice. Not only does the subject of the module tie in with inclusivity, the way in which the module is designed is also inclusive. This makes it a good example of how education can embrace and promote diversity. For example, attention is paid to various ways of acquiring knowledge for students, with different learning needs/ preferred styles. The student can master the subject matter and can choose from multiple sources, by reading, listening or watching videos.

Motivation of the professional jury

The project has clearly defined the subject, the problem definition and the design of the research are easy to follow and the research method is of good quality. Four conference papers have been published. The students are given a clear role in conducting research and one of the buildings of the university was used for the measurements. The practical applicability of the results is high and the results are therefore already being used in practice. The jury appreciates that THUAS buildings as a living lab scores good to very good on all parts of the research.

Winners Golden Staff Award 2024

Central Examination Organization Team
Department Education, Knowledge & Communication- Unit Educational Logistics and all Faculties

Motivation of the professional jury

The Central Examination Organization team was unanimously chosen as the winner of the Golden Staff Award 2024. This entry is entirely in keeping with the spirit of the Golden Staff Award. It shows a beautiful co-creation between the OKC manager and all Faculty Office managers. The jury finds this collaboration impressive.

What started small as a pilot to improve the test organization has subsequently been rolled out to all HHs locations. There is broad collaboration between faculties and services. It shows that we need everyone at all levels. This collaboration is unique within the HHs because for the first time, OKC and all faculties are working together without a decision by the Executive Board or directors. It is a good example for the coming years, it is not only short-cyclical but it is also educational and efficient. 

The jury members are looking forward to the results in the future and promising initiatives that will hopefully follow.
