Donges Award for Niklas Brand’s Master’s thesis

The Donges Sponsorship Award, presented for the eleventh time at the end of October, honors young scientists in steel construction at TU Darmstadt. Mr. Niklas Brand, Project Engineer Construction Engineering at CSZ in Darmstadt, is one of this year’s prize winners. His award-winning master’s thesis “Investigations into the material process of butt-welded joints” was reviewed by a renowned jury, including Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Lange and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Vormwald.

The Donges Promotion Prize, awarded by Donges SteelTec GmbH Darmstadt, honors special theses in steel construction. After a pandemic-related interruption, the prize was awarded again for the first time since 2017, highlighting the high quality of the work submitted.

We warmly congratulate Mr. Brand on this well-deserved award and are pleased that he has been an integral part of our team for a year now. The award reflects not only his achievements to date, but also his promising role in the practical development of steel construction. We wish Mr. Brand much joy and success in his new professional chapter at CSZ.
