Enovos Prix d'Excellence 2021;

Each year, the best engineering studies are awarded the "Prize of Excellence" from the Enovos Foundation; on Friday 29 October 2021, the 10th edition too place, which saw seven winners rewarded for the quality of their master's work.

When in 2010 the Enovos Foundation was established under the aegis of the Fondation de Luxembourg, its contribution to research and its support for scientific projects was established as an important pillar of its work. It is in this general context and in order to promote the studies and professional careers of engineers that the "Prize of Excellence" (Prix d'Excellence) of the Enovos Foundation was born in 2012.

Since 2012, this distinction has been awarded each year by the Enovos Foundation and its partners, the association "Engineers and Scientists of Luxembourg" and ANEIL (National Association of Luxembourg Engineering Students). In ten years, 60 Master theses for 62 laureates have thus obtained this distinction, accompanied by a prize of €2,500 euros per dossier.

An independent jury made up of engineers evaluated - for this 10th edition - 11 applications to reward the 6 best final works.

The awards ceremony took place in the presence of Jean Lucius (President of the Enovos Foundation), Erik von Scholz (CEO of Enovos Luxembourg), Marc Solvi (President of Engineers and Scientists of Luxembourg), Charly Huberty (President of the 'ANEIL), Johnny Brebels (Director Company Relations and Support, Luxinnovation) as well as Michel Pundel (President of the jury).

The 2021 winners:

- Joe Haentges: Automated image generation and classification of various conveying elements in intralogistics using machine learning
- Yves Heuschling: Development of a methodology for the preliminary wing design with the help of an aerodynamic profile database
- 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 behaviour - A numerical study
- Ben Weber: Material anisotropy in wire and arc additively manufactured structures
- Julie Vesque: Construction, commissioning and CFD simulation of a system for determining the flow conditions in the pneumatic conveying of bulk materials using the example of Teff seeds 

The 10th edition of the "Enovos Foundation Award of Excellence" ended with a reception during which budding engineers had the opportunity to rub shoulders with the world of established engineers.
