The annual EUPRIO Awards provide an opportunity for our members to demonstrate their professional excellence and originality.
Every year we all get involved in projects at our universities that make a real difference. These might be centred on the way you handle the pandemic, student or staff communications, public engagement or perhaps media relations. Even more, all of them represent an acknowledgement that universities need to communicate effectively with all their key audiences.
Therefore, the Awards are a chance to showcase these projects, share best practice and receive recognition from our peers for a job well done.
Furthermore, the judging and presentations take place at EUPRIO’s annual conference. Consequently, this is an ideal opportunity to highlight what makes your university communications practice distinctive.
The winning project, along with the second and third runners-up, will be selected based on votes from conference delegates and the EUPRIO Steering Committee jury.
Apart from gaining well-deserved recognition from your peers, the winner will receive a trophy, certificate and free registration for next year’s EUPRIO annual conference, and there will be prizes for second and third too.
Entering the EUPRIO Awards is simple:
- Check if you are EUPRIO member for 2025 or renew your membership through MyEUPRIO
- Just fill in the web form and tell us why your project, which must have been completed within the last two years, is worthy of a EUPRIO Award.
- Submit (remember to click on submit at the bottom of the form!) your entry by the deadline of 30 April 2025.
- If you are one of the shortlisted entries, you will be required to join us at EUPRIO’s annual conference, which is in the beautiful city of Lisbon this year, where judging and presentations take place. It’s the perfect stage to spotlight what sets your university’s communications apart.
You can do everything also through the WebApp on your smartphone just login on MyEUPRIO!

Ludo Koks, chair of the EUPRIO Awards Jury, said:
“Both the audience and the jury unanimously decided that the first prize was for the University of Trento for it’s campaign #Itendshere. It turned out to be a very effective and successful method to raise awareness about discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion and other grounds, and to promote the role of the University Confidential Counsellor. Well done, Trento!”
