Utopia Europia - apply now
Utopia Europe is entering its seventh round! In 2026, we are once again looking for creative and forward-looking ideas for greater political participation by young people.
Are your students committed to democracy & a united Europe in a special way or are they contributing to the European integration process?
The Higher Education Office of the French Embassy/Institute français Deutschland (IFD) in Berlin and the Franco-German University (DFH) are looking for the best projects and ideas thatbring Europe to life at university and perhaps even inspire imitation: from social media campaigns to (short) films and podcasts and much more, that demonstrate and promote European togetherness at universities and work to strengthen a democratic society - so much is happening at universities!
How the competition works:
Students submit a contribution in a team and in the form of the medium of their choice, presenting a project at their university that is committed to democracy and Europe.
The submitted formats are presented to a jury, which decides on the three winning teams of the "Utopia Europe Prize 2026".
The three best projects will receive funding of up to €1,000!
Application deadline: June 15, 2026, to the following e-mail address: nicole.martinez@institutfrancais.de.
