German-French parliamentary award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Franco-German Parliament Award is a science award that was awarded jointly by the French Assemblée nationale and the German Bundestag for the first time in 2004 and every two years since 2006. It is endowed with 10,000 euros.

prehistory

In 2003, in the run-up to the 40th anniversary of the Elysée Treaty , the Presidia of Parliament came up with the idea of adding an additional cultural and political highlight to this anniversary . By means of a twin science award, which is presented to both German and French award winners at the same time, the aim was to make the decades-long close connection between the two European core countries even more visible. The new project was sealed by the presidents of both parliaments in a joint resolution on June 23, 2004.

Procedural rules

Only German and French citizens who have written a legal, economic, political, social or other humanities work that has been published as a book and contributes to better mutual knowledge of the two countries can apply. Nominations by third parties are also permitted.

The work in question must be written in German or French. Up to three authors can submit a joint book if they apply together and all have made a significant and comprehensible contribution to the overall work. The following must be submitted: three copies of the work, a letter of application, a short to two-page curriculum vitae, and a summary of the book of no more than three pages.

The jury, in which the two Presidents of Parliament share the chairmanship, also consists of two MPs and scientists from France and Germany.

The prizes, which honor a German and a French application, are awarded at the regular joint meetings of the two parliamentary presidia.
