The GOR Thesis Award. Georg Ahnert (University of Mannheim) was honoured with this year’s prize for the best Master’s thesis for his project “Fair Sampling for Global Ranking Recovery”. In the competition for the best PhD thesis, Julian B. Axenfeld (DIW Berlin) beat off the competition with his work “Imputation of Missing Data from Split Questionnaire Designs in Social Surveys”. The GOR Thesis Award 2024 was once again sponsored by Tivian. The winners also received prize money of 500 euros each.

The Best Paper Award 2024 . The award, worth 500 euros, which honours outstanding scientific contributions to online research, went this year to the duo Tobias Felix Reiter and Ramona Schoedel for the paper “Never miss a beep: Using mobile sensing to investigate (non-)compliance in experience sampling studies”.
