Anton Tedesko Medal
The Anton Tedesko Medal is awarded by the International Association of Bridge and Structural Engineers (IABSE) Foundation to both honour a Laureate and financially support a young engineering Fellow of the Association.
The medal is awarded to a distinguished structural engineer as recognition of his/her life achievements, and includes a grant of 25,000 CHF for study leave for a promising young engineer to gain practical experience in a prestigious engineering firm outside his/her home country.
The medal is named after and honours Anton Tedesko (1903–1994) who was an outstanding engineer, eminent designer and builder of innovative structures. The award was created in 1998.
Development Aid Program
In line with our goals, it is also a priority of the foundation to contribute to improving the quality of life for people. Supporting the establishment of infrastructure projects in developing countries is as much a focus as enhancing the training of local engineers to contribute to the safety of engineering structures.
In recent years, significant successes have been achieved based on our financial support and through the direct involvement of IABSE members on-site during the project realization.
Contributions to the improvement of the quality of life of the local population, which we at the IABSE Foundation are very proud of and celebrate together with the people affected.
