Congratulations are in order for Prof. Dr. Petra Maria Asprion and Dr. Pascal Moriggl, on receiving a Module Award in recognition of their outstanding teaching performance.

The award was presented for their contribution to the teaching of D4 – Data and Ethics, which was selected by students as the best module in the Core Competencies category at this year’s Annual Meeting. This marks the first time that teaching awards were presented as part of the Annual Meeting, making the recognition a particularly special occasion.

D4 – Data and Ethics is a 7-week module worth 3 ECTS credits, offered as part of the Master of Science in Life Sciences degree programme. This joint national programme is delivered collaboratively by four Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences: Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH), the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW), the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (HES-SO), and Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW).

Students benefit from networking opportunities and interdisciplinary exchange across the four institutions. Teaching takes place in joint courses delivered collaboratively by the participating universities.

The award certificate recognizes the module for “exemplary teaching performance and outstanding educational performances” and was presented jointly by the participating Swiss universities of applied sciences. Both winners received a certificate as well as prize money in recognition of their contribution.

The recognition brings to light the dedication and quality that Prof. Dr. Petra Maria Asprion and Dr. Pascal Moriggl bring to their teaching and the positive impact their work has on students.

Congratulations, Prof. Dr. Petra Maria Asprion and Dr. Pascal Moriggl! We are proud to see your commitment to education recognized by your students and colleagues, and we look forward to seeing the continued impact of your work in the classroom.
