Horizon Impact Award 2022

The European Commission launched the third edition of Horizon Impact Award prize, which is the EC's initiative to recognise and celebrate outstanding projects that have used their results to provide value for society.
The award aims to show the wider socio-economic benefits of EU investment in research and innovation. The award enables individuals or teams to showcase their best practices and achievements. This will encourage other beneficiaries to use and manage their results in the best way possible. It also aims to create role models and inspire beneficiaries of research and innovation funding to maximise the impact of their research.
The EC will reward 6 awards of €25,000 each. It is also anticipated that the award will provide the winners with high visibility in the form of public interest and increased media coverage. The EC will further promote the winners by inviting them to provide testimony at other major events.
The projects considered for the prize must have been funded by FP7 and/or Horizon 2020 funding programmes and they must be closed by the time of application.
All beneficiaries of closed FP7/H2020 projects are invited to submit their application to the prize by 8 March 2022.
