Dandelion Award for Inge Herrmann
Inge Herrmann, Professor of Nanoparticle Systems, has been awarded the Dandelion Award for her outstanding efforts to promote entrepreneurship at ETH Zurich and beyond. She readily connects people, encourages students to launch start-ups and is a scientific advisor to several spin-offs from her lab.
The Dandelion Award is presented once a year to the most entrepreneurship-friendly professors from ETH Zurich. All ETH students, doctoral and postdoctoral students may submit nominations and then cast their votes. Based on the votes, a jury picks a winner for each of the 16 departments of ETH Zurich. The jury consists of representatives of key student bodies such as ETH Entrepreneur Club, ETH juniors, Student Project House, and the Academic Association of Scientific Staff at ETH Zurich (AVETH).
The award ceremony took place on Friday, 18 October 2024, at the NO building (Earth Sciences Department) and Student Project House at the ETH Zentrum Campus.
