PöhnixSiemens AG Austria is donating an evocative prize - the "Phoenix" - for the best master's thesis on the Fire Safety Management course.
The figure, also known as the firebird, has been found in many mythologies since the earliest times, such as Egyptian, Greek and Chinese, but also in the modern world, for example in the popular Harry Potter books. The phoenix has a meaningful connection with the element of fire and the sun and is one of the universal symbols of resurrection and rebirth, as well as luck and loyalty.
