Johann Licher was honoured at this year’s Dr Jürgen Ulderup Prize ceremony on 13 April 2026 for his outstanding achievements during his Master’s degree. He had already received the prize in 2024 for his achievements during his Bachelor’s degree.

The Dr Jürgen Ulderup Prize, established in 1998, honours outstanding achievements in the field of engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The prize is named after Dr Jürgen Ulderup, a visionary entrepreneur who founded Lemförder Metallwaren after the Second World War and maintained close ties with the university from the 1980s onwards. His commitment gave rise to a desire to support talented students. The prize particularly recognises the top graduates of each year’s Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes, as well as PhD graduates.
