Impressed by the performance of Ms. TSEBO SIMO (winner of both VKII-BSA Silver and VKII-BFA prizes totalling 500,- Euros prize money), Prof. Wolfram Ressel, Rector of the University of Stuttgart spontaneously offered her a PhD position coupled with a scholarship, which she delightedly accepted.
Not going unnoticed is the continuous trend from 2009 that 2 prize winners of this year’s contest were Cameroon based students from the same university, National Advanced School of Engineering (ENS Polytechnique) Yaoundé in Cameroon.
The VKII-Best Student Award and VKII-Best Female Student Award are international contests for undergraduate and graduate Cameroonian students worldwide. It offers them an opportunity to compete for an award, as they examine innovative topics in engineering and computer science in order to solve everyday problems.
