Best of REWI
We promote special achievements and recognize them - in teaching, research, administration and in the university environment. Above all, however, this applies to your achievements during your studies.
The fifteen best-ranked graduates of the previous academic year in terms of grade point average and duration of study are honored at the Best of REWI ceremony in the auditorium. In addition to certificates and prizes, they receive an entry in the Faculty's Book of Honor. The best student of the year will receive the REWI Award created by Rolf Brühlmann especially for Best of REWI. The names of the three best students will be engraved on the plaque of the best students of the year and thus immortalized in the RESOWI building in the CE section. The three best students will become members of the Walter Wilburg Faculty Circle .The authors of the best dissertations are also honored at the "Best of REWI" ceremony and receive certificates and prizes. They will also be included in the Faculty's Book of Honor.
Grazer Wechselseitige Versicherung AG supports the event and, alongside the JUS Club and the Grazer Juristische Gesellschaft, provides the prizes for the winners.
