The DKKV Promotional Award 2024 was presented yesterday as part of the Disaster Risk Reduction symposium – supported by our institutional member DRF Luftrettung. In his laudatory speech, DKKV CEO Leon Eckert emphasised the relevance of the prize in the current crisis-ridden times and praised the interdisciplinary expertise of the jury. At the award ceremony, DRF Luftrettung CEO Dr Krystian Pracz spoke about the organisation’s commitment to disaster prevention and the impressive submissions.

A special highlight: the winners were included in the DKKV Young Professionals. A trailer about their work and the network of our young professionals was also presented – the video is available here.
