Kansai Helios Award goes to Applied Chemistry graduate
Kansai Helios Austria has supported the Applied Chemistry programme at IMC Krems for several years now. The sponsorship prize is awarded in recognition of outstanding achievements by students – like Anna Gruber, who graduated from the three-year bachelor programme in Krems in July 2023. "Anna demonstrated exceptional dedication and personal initiative when she was writing her bachelor thesis, completing the tasks she was set in outstanding fashion, but the award also reflects her exceptional performance during her studies," said Head of Institute Uwe Rinner proudly. The award was presented by Prof. Hubert Culik, Managing Director of Kansai Helios Austria GmbH, and Prof. Rinner.
