The seventh edition of the annual Innovation in Politics Awards will honour 80 best-practice projects from the political sphere in 8 categories (Climate protection, Democracy, Democracy Technologies, Education, Government Improvement, Local Development, Party Innovation, and Social Cohesion) to showcase innovative solutions for today’s challenges. The lively Exchange Conference will provide plentiful opportunities to meet, exchange best practices in round-table discussions and network with an audience of 500 political innovators from all over Europe. The winners of each category, as chosen by a Citizens’ Jury of more than 1.000 Europeans, will be presented with their trophy at the Evening Gala.
