FHNW Award Ceremony - Gruner Innovation Award 2020

Every year, the Gruner Innovation Award for graduates of the Institute of Civil Engineering at the FHNW, which is endowed with 500 CHF, is awarded. The most innovative Bachelor thesis is awarded.

This year's winner is Mr. Timo Daniel with his very good bachelor thesis in the field of geotechnics: "Deconstruction of the Josefstrasse waste incineration plant, Zurich: Special civil engineering measures and deformation assessment". The Innovation Award was presented at the end of September by Michael Schumacher, Head of the Structural Engineering Department of Gruner Ltd, at the diploma ceremony.

We congratulate Timo Daniel and wish him all the best for the future.
