European Social Innovation Competition Award Ceremony

Launched in memory of social innovation pioneer Diogo Vasconcelos, the European Social Innovation Competition is a challenge prize run by the European Commission across all EU member states and Horizon 2020 associated countries. Now in its 7th year, the Competition acts as a beacon for social innovators in Europe, employing a proven methodology for supporting early-stage ideas and facilitating a network of radical innovators shaping society for the better.

Each year the Competition is based around a different issue. In 2019, the theme is: “Challenging Plastic Waste”. This year ten finalists are competing for three 50,000€ prizes, with the winners to be announced at a public award ceremony at the Albert Hall Complex in Brussels on October 24th.

To join for an afternoon dedicated to celebrating great social innovation projects that challenge plastic waste, alongside the Competition finalists and experts from across Europe, register here: https://ec.europa.eu/growth/content/2019-european-social-innovation-competition-awards-ceremony_en
