Since 2025, the ADUC has honoured three speakers with the ADUC Lecture Award at the Chemiedozententagung The award comes with a certificate and prize money of 300 euros each. During the CDT, all conference participants will have the opportunity to vote on the presentations and thus determine the award winners. The prizes will be awarded in the final session of the Conference.
