Since 2012, the Enovos Foundation, created under the aegis of the Fondation de Luxembourg, has been honouring the best work of engineering students through its “Excellence Award”.
In 10 editions, 60 Master’s works for 62 laureates have thus obtained this distinction accompanied by an individual prize of €2,500.
The 2021 edition awarded six laureates :
- Joe Haentges: Automatisierte Bilderzeugung und -klassifikation verschiedener Förderelemente der Intralogistik durch Anwendung maschinellen Lernens
- Yves Heuschling: Entwicklung einer Methodik für den Flügelvorentwurf unter Zuhilfenahme einer aerodynamischen Profildatenbank
- Elisa Urbain: La pompe à chaleur comme installation de référence au sein de la législation luxembourgeoise
- Elsan Huremovic & Halida Ramdedovic: Seismic assessment and retrofitting of non-seismically designed reinforced concrete structures considering realistic joint behavior – A numerical study
- Ben Weber: Material anisotropy in wire and arc additively manufactured structures
- Julie Vesque: Aufbau, Inbetriebnahme und CFD Simulation einer Anlage zur Bestimmung der Strömungszustände bei der pneumatischen Förderung von Schüttgütern am Beispiel von Teff Samen
The award ceremony took place on Friday 29 October in the presence of Jean Lucius (President of the Enovos Foundation), Erik von Scholz (CEO of Enovos Luxembourg), Marc Solvi (President of Ingénieurs et Scientifiques du Luxembourg), Charly Huberty (President of ANEIL), Johnny Brebels (Director Company Relations and Support, Luxinnovation) and Michel Pundel (President of the jury).
“Companies in our country need the best engineers and scientists to innovate,” said Johnny Brebels in his speech. “I encourage young people today to make the right choice and study engineering: there are so many opportunities to build a dynamic professional life in innovation. Even in an age where technology is key, it is still all about men and women who drive innovation and work together towards a common goal.”
