# Sturm & Drang Prize
The Sturm & Drang Prize has been conferred since 2012 for the best publications by early career researchers at the Faculty of Economics and Business.
For an academic career to progress successfully, excellent publications are an important criterion. To take this into account and offer young scientists an effective and visible platform for presenting their research results, the faculty introduced the Sturm & Drang Prize. Its aim is to honor outstanding scientific achievements by early career researchers at the faculty and in this way draw attention to the considerable potential at Goethe University Frankfurt.
The Sturm & Drang Prize is worth €1,500 and is conferred traditionally as part of the [Dies academicus](https://www.wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de/fachbereich/medien-und-aktuelles/dies-academicus), which took place this year on November 7, 2025. The application deadline was August 31, 2025.
