After sending in proposals and a pre-selection of the association's members, the jury chose a migrant of the year Bavaria 2018:

A very warm congratulations to Prof. Dr. med. Yurdagül Zopf from Erlangen!

The nutrition and sports physician, who works at the University Hospital Erlangen / Bereichleitung Ernährungsmedizin, grew up in Nuremberg-Gostenhof and is in our opinion a role model for current and future generations of women with a history of migration.
She is a committed and valued personality and has built up a remarkable scientific career through her own efforts.
