The European Policy Prize (EPP)
The EPP is an international essay competition open both to EST members, as well as external contributors. It gives the chance to engage thoroughly with specific EU policy fields, allowing participants to develop a policy brief on a given relevant and current EU dossier through a variety of approaches.
The contributions submitted are evaluated both by the Editorial Office and by a selected jury of experts within the topic of discussion chosen for the concerned edition.
The writer awarded the winning title of the competition will receive a certificate, the chance to have their work published in the EPR and to publish a podcast episode centred around their paper.
