Deutsche Messe Invites Nominations for Engineer Woman Award

Hannover, Germany – Deutsche Messe AG, the operating company for the Hanover Fairground and the largest trade fair operator in Germany, honors an expert female professional from the STEM sector every year. This person is selected for having implemented innovative trends in the technical environment of a company through her commitment, ideas, or work performance.

Besides this, nominations are also invited for the Young Engineer Woman Award, which will be presented for the second time. This will go to a female natural scientist from the STEM field who is no more than 30 years old and who has made exceptional contributions in the technical sphere or has otherwise performed above and beyond the call of duty.

Both invitations for nominations are aimed at all companies and institutions from Germany and abroad. Only one nomination per award is allowed for each company or institution. The deadline for entries is February 15, 2024. The awards will be presented on April 25-25, during the FEMWORX Career Congress at HANNOVER MESSE in a ceremony that is sure to attract considerable media attention. Nominations are free of charge.

The winners of the Engineer Woman 2024 Award and the Young Engineer Woman Award 2024 will be selected by an independent jury consisting of members of the Congress Advisory Board. This jury will initially determine three nominees for each of these awards. The two award winners will be announced at the FEMWORX Congress.
