EC launched Horizon Impact Award contest

On 20 March 2019, the European Commission (EC) launched the first Horizon Impact Award – a prize dedicated to EU-funded projects whose results provided an added value to society. This prize recognizes and awards the most successful project results under the 7th Framework programme (FP7 2007-2013) and Horizon 2020. The award aims to show the wider socio-economic benefits of EU investment in research and innovation, enabling individuals or teams to demonstrate their best practices and achievements.   The contest is open to all legal entities that have completed a FP7 or Horizon 2020 project. Each of the five winners will receive €10,000.-. The contest is open for applications until 28 May 2019.   More information
