Our colleague Gesine Mollenhauer, together with political scientist Klaus Schlichte, received the prize for outstanding doctoral supervision in 2025. We are happy for her and congratulate her!

The University of Bremen´s Award for Outstanding Doctoral Supervision is presented every two years to one person from humanities and social sciences and one from the natural sciences and engineering. In his speech honoring Professor Gesine Mollenhauer, her former doctoral candidate Dr. Manuel Ruben said: “One of the qualities that makes Gesine Mollenhauer truly outstanding is her ability to adapt her supervisory style to the individual needs of her doctoral candidates. Instead of expecting us to follow a uniform approach, she tailors her support to each individual – always with our well-being in mind." Gesine Mollenhauer is a professor of organic sedimentology at the Faculty of Geosciences. She has been researching and teaching at the University of Bremen since 2011 and is the scientific director of a laboratory for radiocarbon dating at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in Bremerhaven.
