Leonardo European Corporate Learning Award

Since 2010, the “Leonardo European Corporate Learning Award” has honored people who have initiated and implemented “lighthouse projects” for education in Europe and are therefore important as an orientation mark for other players in Europe. In order to make the European economy more efficient and more responsible, European education experts award Europe-wide ideas and new ways for corporate learning. The award winners receive the award every autumn at the Zukunft Personal trade fair.

history

In 2010 Alexander Petsch, managing director of the HRM Research Institute and the trade fair organizer spring Messe Management, and Winfried Sommer, member of the scientific management of the “Professional Learning Europe” congress, initiated the award. The starting point was the 2009 financial crisis, which, from the point of view of the initiators, showed that helpless demands for more education from business representatives and politicians are not enough to achieve more responsibility in top management positions. Above all, they demand more quality in lifelong learning and rely on personalities who are familiar with the world of knowledge and learning and who enjoy a high reputation.

The Steering Committee includes the scientific management of the HRM Research Institute - Alexander Petsch and Winfried Sommer - the secretary of the Leonardo Advisory Board, Günther M. Szogs. The Leonardo - European Corporate Learning Award is an honorary award. The members of an advisory board propose candidates and select the winner.
