Kaiser Maximilian Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kaiser Maximilian Prize , which has also been the Kaiser Maximilian Prize for European merits at regional and municipal level since 2018 , is the European prize for regional and local politics of the state of Tyrol and the city of Innsbruck .

background

The award named after Emperor Maximilian I was donated in 1997 by the State of Tyrol and the City of Innsbruck on the occasion of the 85th birthday of Innsbruck's Mayor Alois Lugger . Since then, the award has recognized outstanding achievements by personalities and institutions in European regional and local politics. In particular, efforts to implement the principle of subsidiarity and the content of the European Charter of Local Self-Government and the Charter of Regional Self-Government of the Council of Europe were recognized.

Realignment

As part of the preparations for the Emperor Maximilian Memorial Year 2019, the State of Tyrol and the City of Innsbruck jointly decided at the beginning of 2018 to fundamentally renew the existing tender and award process in order to make the overall concept of the award even closer to the citizen and more inclusive. Instead of awarding prizes for outstanding individual achievements, the call for tenders should in future be aimed at outstanding projects and initiatives that feel committed to the central goals of the European unification process in a joint, creative and sustainable manner. In addition, the prize was renamed the Kaiser Maximilian Prize for European merits at regional and municipal level. From now on, the call for tenders is aimed in particular at individuals, groups of people (societies and associations), research institutions, interest groups and regional authorities from all 47 Council of Europe states, plus Belarus. Applications are only accepted via the application platform integrated into the homepage, whereby the application form can be filled out in German, English and French. The decision on the winning project will be announced after an (international) jury meeting.

Tender criteria

Submitted projects should have an innovative orientation, pursue new approaches or organizational methods and contain an assessment of the effects or developments with regard to the project objectives pursued or the expected effects. The various aspects of European integration are decisive here. The decisive criteria are the effectiveness of the project, sustainability and creativity as well as the focus on encouraging other target groups to deal with Europe with their own commitment.

Award

The Kaiser Maximilian Prize will be awarded every two years from 2019. The prize consists of a certificate, a medal (Schautaler v. 1509 Emperor Maximilian I) and a cash prize of 10,000 euros. The cash prize is earmarked for the award-winning project. All events related to the award will take place in Innsbruck at the beginning of May, with the award ceremony as well as a colorful, all-day supporting program involving the largest possible number of interested citizens. The next award will take place in 2019 and then every two years.
