The “Fundamental Academic Values Award” call for applications is now open until 22 June 2026!
The award aims to support young researchers advocating for crucial values in higher education and democracy, including academic freedom, institutional autonomy, student and staff participation in governance, and public responsibility.
If you are an early-career researcher in the European Higher Education Area and the topic of your research connects directly to fundamental values in higher education, then you are eligible for application. Winners of the three awards will receive a monetary prize and will be invited to present their research during a public event.
The award is funded by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt.
