Munich - The BMW Group is calling upon college graduates and young scientists worldwide to apply for the international BMW Group Scientific Award 2005. The award includes total prize money of 70,000 euros and will be awarded for the eighth time. Young academics from all areas of science can submit a summary of their dissertation, master's or doctoral thesis via their professors. Naturally bachelor and master's degrees can also be submitted. The application period ends on January 7th, 2005.

The motto of the BMW Group Scientific Award 2005 is "Passion for Innovation". The award addresses young scientists who want to shape the future with their trailblazing ideas and passionate curiosity. The work submitted must have been completed between 1. January 2003 and 31. December 2004. It will be evaluated by an international jury consisting of representatives from science and business. Decisive criteria will be innovation potential, realistic chances for implementation, benefit for the environment and society as well as efficiency. The authors of the best scientific papers as well as their professors will be awarded at the prize-giving ceremony in autumn 2005.

"The spirit of invention and scientific curiosity need to be fostered more than ever before", explains Prof. Dr. Dr. E.h. Burkhard Göschel, Member of the Board of Directors of BMW AG and patron of the BMW Group Scientific Award 2005. Only those who can produce new features and products will be able to hold their ground in global competition." With this award, the BMW Group is also creating an interdisciplinary worldwide network: prize-winners and their professors meet at alumni meetings and come into contact with kindred spirits as well as representatives from the world of science and business. In addition the BMW Group intensifies its dialogue with universities and colleges and thus creates a basis on which experiences can be exchanged between business, science and society.

The BMW Group Scientific Award has been granted since 1991 every two years. There have been 39 prize-winners so far. 200 participants from more than 20 countries took part in the 2003 invitation. Dissertations from 16 different specialist areas were submitted.
