1. The subjects of the papers ought to be application-oriented and in line with the fields of the SEPAWA® e.V. The association, whose purpose it is to encourage the practical and scientific education and further training of all those working in the fields of detergents and cleansers, cosmetics, perfumery as well as chemical-technical applications, is thus providing a great incentive for a scientific examination of its subject areas.
2. Continuous, efficient studies, outstanding grades as well as quality and relevance of the supplied thesis are the basic qualifications for a SEPAWA® e.V. Award.
3. Comparable qualifications also apply for the PhD Thesis Award. Needless to say, for this award, however, content and originality of the thesis play an additional and particularly important role in the evaluation.

Endowed Professorship
In cooperation with the Association for the Promotion of Science and Humanities in Germany, SEPAWA® e.V. has sponsored an endowed professorship since 2016. This professorship was installed at the University of Applied Science in Ostwestfalen-Lippe for the Technologie of detergents, Cosmetics and Pharmacy. The aim is to foster education and research in the fields of SEPAWA® e.V. relevant knowledge.
Experimental kits for schools (currently not available)
SEPAWA® e.V. gives away experimental kits „Soaps and detergents“ to secondary schools
Education is an important precondition for the sustainable dealing with products from the cosmetic, detergent and cleaner sector. To convey the necessary basics, the SEPAWA® e.V. Section Legislative / Environment / Consumers [LUV] developed the SEPAWA® e.V. "Soaps & Detergents" experimental kit on the basis of existing concepts in cooperation with practitioners from the school sector. These sets are free of charge, with the schools bearing only the shipping costs.
The experimental kit can be requested by mail office@sepawa.de. Independent experimentation is part of contemporary science education. This way, students can actually „grasp“ chemistry. Interested and well-educated students will most likely become responsible consumers who are able to use the products safely and efficiently and thus - in the true sense of the word – will do so in a sustainable manner.
In this respect, the promotion of further education and advanced training in the area of natural science and technology is in the very interest of SEPAWA® e.V. and represents one of the long-term goals of the industry association.
