To honour the commitment to this central topic, the University of Lucerne presents the Open Science Award every year. Researchers who implement Open Science in their scientific work to a particularly high degree are honoured.

The Open Science Award is endowed with CHF 1000 and is presented by the Rector at the Dies Academicus. The winners are selected by a jury in which all faculties of the University of Lucerne are represented.
