Following a resolution passed in 2005 by the Executive Board, the Renate Wittern Sterzel Prize of Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is awarded annually for an especially successful equality project at the University. The prize can be awarded to members and/or organizational units of FAU, i.e. also to student activities and teaching projects.

The prize money is 10,000 euros and must be used to continue existing or to develop new activities in equality and diversity at FAU. Suggestions for prize winners can be made by all FAU members, including students. Direct applications are also possible. The deadline for submitting applications and nomination ends on June 30, 2025.
