Dietrich Martin Prize

In memory of the founder of the Department of Sport Science at the University of Kassel and in recognition of his achievements, the Institute of Sport and Sport Science awards the "Dietrich Martin Prize". The assessed academic achievements relate to subject theory, subject practice and the academic term paper. In addition, achievements that have been made alongside the studies (e.g. work on committees and commissions; work as a student assistant; licenses acquired, etc.) are also assessed. Since 2013, the award has taken place in the newly built institute building of the IfSS at the University of Kassel and is endowed with a sum of money. With the award ceremony, the institute honors the student with the best study and examination results in their year of study as well as the best final thesis in the subject of sport. The IfSS also bids farewell to the graduates of all degree courses and honors the most successful university athletes. In 2009, this event celebrated its 10th anniversary.
