Teaching awards are reserved for professors and associate professors, as well as doctoral and postdoctoral students whose teaching work stands out among their peers. Each year, a senior and a junior colleagues are selected, based on student recommendations, to receive a this prize which recognises excellence in teaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, the FDEF Teaching awards were presented on 8 December during the Faculty’s Graduation Ceremonies<\/a>. Our Faculty warmly congratulates the winners, Associate Professor Sarah Gelper, and doctoral candidate Panagiotis Mytilinaios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Associate Professor in Business Analytics with a Specialization in Marketing Analytics, Sarah Gelper<\/a> joined the University of Luxembourg in December 2022 after a career at the Rotterdam School of Management and Eindhoven University of Technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Panagiotis Mytilinaios<\/a> is a doctoral student pursuing studies within our Doctoral School in Economics, Finance and Management<\/a>. In the accounting course which he taught, he focused his efforts on helping students to develop critical thinking about accounting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the course, he managed to attract the attention of the more academically-oriented students and the more practice-oriented students alike. Panagiotis demonstrated both the innate beauty of economics as well as the importance of having a deep understanding of accounting as applied to a complex real-world setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has been highly recommended by both his Department of finance colleagues as well as his students for his innovative and high-value added approach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
