Innovative outreach and public engagement activities by European universities are being recognised in a competition funded by the European Commission and part organised by the Oxford Internet Institute.

Individuals and groups are invited to apply for the awards. The three winning entries will each receive a 5000 EUR prize for their institution at an awards ceremony in Oxford.

Examples of outreach and public engagement include initiatives involving school children and their teachers, interactions with commercial organisations that lead to new technological developments, or activities that connect with policy-makers and support the policy-making process.

Entries should be submitted by 15 March 2012 and the winners will be announced on 23 April 2012.
