EESC civil society prize:

Call for nominations opened

For the second year, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) will award the EESC prize for organised civil society. In 2007, it shall reward outstanding activities by civil society to help promote European integration and identity.

Through the annual prize, the EESC is seeking to encourage intellectual or practical contributions to a better awareness of the role of organised civil society in the European integration process. Its aim is to recognise and stimulate outstanding initiatives in order to help flesh out the emerging concept of participatory democracy.

The prize is open to civil society organisations and individuals from within the European Union. It has a value of 20,000 EUR.
