Berninghausen Prize for Excellence in Teaching

We are delighted to share that Prof. Mihalis Vrekoussis was awarded the Special honor of the Berninghausen Prize for Excellence in Teaching on December 3, 2025

In recent years, Prof. Vrekoussis has been nominated repeatedly, but unfortunately he has never received the award. Therefore, the Berninghausen Prize Committee has decided to present him with a special honor this year. This recognition reflects how much his outstanding commitment, enthusiasm, and exceptional dedication are appreciated. We would like to extend our warmest congratulations on this well-deserved achievement and sincerely thank him for his exceptional contribution to teaching.

On LinkedIn, Prof. Vrekoussis writes:
"I am truly honored and proud to receive special recognition for my teaching at the University of Bremen. Teaching is not an obligation but a privilege that allows us to transfer knowledge and to inspire (and get inspired by) the next generation of thinkers and leaders. This acknowledgment, therefore, holds special significance, as it reflects the passion for education we share within our academic community. 

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the University of Bremen for this honor, my students for their trust and support, and everyone who has been part of this rewarding journey!"
