Jury statement
"The design of universally deployable rescue modules addresses a very relevant issue in the context of global disasters such as wars, pandemics or natural disasters. After analysing worldwide disasters and currently available rescue systems, the design proposes foldable and inflatable modules for shelter and medical care, which are well suited for transport by air and universal usability in various applications due to their dimensions and lightweight material.
In this work, the jury particularly recognises the examination of the humanitarian consequences of global disasters and the intensive examination of the question of how a contribution can be made to alleviating them. The fact that the design proposal also includes serial production and reusability is rated positively. Against this background and due to the great actuality and social relevance of the topic, the jury decided to honour the work with this year's Charité Special Prize."
