The Women of Europe Awards are now open! Attend our gala event by registering here.

The Women of Europe Awards is a new initiative by the European Movement International and the European Women’s Lobby. The awards will be handed out to honour women striving to advance the European project in their professional or private capacity. The role of women in the European project remains largely unrecognised, and the awards will highlight the contribution of women in promoting and advancing European issues, and to increase the presence and involvement of women in debates about Europe and its future.

For the first edition of the Award in December 2016, there are two prize categories:

• Jury’s Award: Woman in Power
  For women showing extraordinary leadership on a European level
• Members’ Award: Woman in Action
  For women undertaking extraordinary actions at grass-root level in Europe

A Jury composed of high-level stakeholders from the cultural, social, media and political sectors will decide on two shortlists based on the nominations received from members of the European Movement International and the European Women’s Lobby.

Award Gala
The 2016 Award Gala will take place in Brussels on 1 December 2016. Register to attend today!
