Lions Sponsorship 2015

In 2015 the Lions Sponsorship was awarded for the first time. 10 submissions from 4 faculties of the TU Wien have been examined by a jury out of members of the Lions Club and the TU Wien. The applications have been evaluated by general and scientific criteria (for example demonstration of use of the subsidies, description of the scientific methodology, innovation degree of the work, as well as their potential).
