Award for best master thesis

Since 2011, MULTIVAC has been awarding a sponsorship prize to students who have written an outstanding master's thesis in the fields of food technology and packaging technology at the Weihenstephan Science Center of the Technical University of Munich. In honor of the initiator and long-time CEO of the group of companies, who retired at the end of 2019, the award has now been renamed the "Hans-Joachim Boekstegers Förderpreis". This year, Paula Goderbauer received the award for her work on the topic "Development of water-soluble milk capsules for use in coffee and tea", which she developed together with her industrial partner frischli Milchwerke GmbH.

Due to the current corona restrictions, the award was not presented as usual on the day of the Faculty of Brewing and Food Technology at the Weihenstephan Science Center. Instead, the award winner was honored by the jury in a video conference at the Weihenstephan Science Center. The prize is endowed with 1.000 euros. The master's thesis was selected by a committee consisting of two professors from the Technical University of Munich and two company representatives from MULTIVAC. Both the quality of the submitted work and the relevance of the respective topic for research and industry were evaluated.

"With the Hans-Joachim Boekstegers award this year, we are honoring a work that is characterized in particular by an innovative and sustainable approach and that provides significant impetus in the field of bio-based packaging materials," the jury explained its decision.

Christian Traumann, Managing Director of MULTIVAC, added: "By renaming the award to the Hans-Joachim Boekstegers sponsorship award, we would also like to honor our valued, long-standing managing director colleague, who works tirelessly for the areas of research and development, education and, in particular, for the most diverse Research collaborations with universities and technical colleges – and last but not least, the promotion of young talent was always a special concern.” The award, which was initiated by Hans-Joachim Boekstegers, will therefore bear his name for the time being.
