Introduction
Help improve politics in Europe – by participating in The Innovation in Politics Awards!
We recognise and support those politicians who have the courage to break new ground, who are creative and achieve real results – regardless of party affiliation and regional level, and based on our European values: social balance, democracy and human rights. We bring their innovative work to the fore, so that it may serve as a source of inspiration.
Categories and Criteria
The Innovation in Politics Awards are presented in eight categories: Quality of Life, Prosperity, Jobs, Ecology, Civilisation, Democracy, Human Rights, and Community.
Besides the core criterion Innovation, three other criteria apply to all nominated projects: Participation, Building Trust and Sustainability.
How you can get involved
You are welcome to join us in our efforts. We offer several forms of participation: nominate innovative political projects you know of; become one of the 1,000 jurors; submit your own project; help us spread the word; or support the initiative as a donor or sponsor.
Meet the winners and finalists of the Innovation in Politics Awards 2018 – and have a look at our gala event at Vienna City Hall.

If I had to use one word to sum it up it would be open - open to innovation, opening data - owned and produced by public administration, opening access to knowledge and sciences and entering that access is available to all everywhere in the country.
