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”. Ten finalists have been selected to pitch for 50,000€ in prize money at the Award Ceremony.

Join for an afternoon dedicated to celebrating great social innovation projects that challenge plastic waste, alongside the Competition’s Finalists and experts from across Europe.
