DMEA sparks Award

Graduates with practice-relevant Bachelor's and Master's theses that deal with the digitalisation of the healthcare sector can apply. These include degree programmes such as medical informatics, e-health, health management, health economics and healthcare management.

The thesis must have been submitted to a university in Germany or abroad after 15 January 2025. The final grading of the thesis by the university is not decisive for submission and may still be open.

Applications can only be submitted via the bvitg Service GmbH booking portal. Once the application has been uploaded, it can be processed until the final submission date. Unfortunately, submissions by e-mail cannot be considered.

Applications can be submitted in German or English.

Please have the following information and documents ready for submission:
- Names and contact details of all authors
- Portrait photos of the authors
- Title of the work
- Abstract
- Bachelor's or Master's thesis as PDF
- Information on the practical relevance of the thesis

If the work is marked with a blocking note, a declaration of consent from the company/institution must be sent to the bsg dmea@bvitg.de by the application deadline, which allows the information to be used by the bsg, the bvitg e. V. and the cooperation partners for the purpose of organising the competition.

Incomplete submissions, including missing or incomplete abstracts, will not be accepted for evaluation.

Yes, submission is also possible in this case.

Theses that have already been submitted for the DMEA Young Talent Award or the DMEA sparks Award are unfortunately not eligible to participate again. They will not be included in the evaluation.

All submitted work will be made available exclusively to the jury and the DMEA project manager, who will treat the documents confidentially. If necessary, please obtain an exemption and send it to doreenkempa@bvitg.de by the submission deadline.
