Award ceremony
Applications are evaluated by a panel of experts composed of leading professionals from various fields. Particular emphasis is placed on the originality of the proposals, their applicability, their scalability, and their potential for sustained impact.
The award ceremony takes place within the framework of the CRiEDO Conference, an annual meeting space bringing together researchers, education professionals, and institutional leaders, with the aim of promoting dialogue, knowledge exchange, and critical reflection on the challenges of the education system.
In this context, the conference not only serves to recognise these trajectories, but also to inspire new initiatives aimed at educational transformation and collaborative work in response to present and future challenges.
