E.1 Awards

E.1 Awards – an awards ceremony celebrating students at Esbjerg’s higher education institutions for their outstanding achievements!

On 25 November, we invite you to an evening at Tobakken dedicated to celebrating students who have truly stood out – whether through academic excellence, creativity, or their contribution to a stronger student community.

During the evening, six academic awards will be presented – one for each higher education institution in Esbjerg – along with the special E.1 Social Award, which is presented to one or more students who have made a positive difference to Esbjerg as a student city. Each award is worth DKK 20,000.

In addition, we will present the Henrik Uhd Christensen Study Travel Grant, worth DKK 25,000, to a student who dreams of studying or completing an internship abroad while representing Esbjerg as an ambassador.

Applications for the Henrik Uhd Christensen Study Travel Grant and nominations for the E.1 Social Award open on 1 October.
