Blue Europe is a non-profit, private, independently funded think tank situated in Luxembourg (Blue Europe's website can be found HERE). Its mission is to reignite and strengthen links between Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. It is comprised of numerous organizations which cooperate synergically with each other. Blue Europe wishes to increase public awareness of European concerns throughout the European Union's peoples as much as possible. To do this, the board of the think tank has decided to hold a scientific paper writing contest again this year. The contest is an excellent opportunity for you to boost your profile visibility and showcase your knowledge to the public.

The contest is open to all EU and EEA students and recently graduates (academic year 2022). Original articles may be submitted on any subject among the following: Law, Diplomatic Sciences, Economics, Econometry, Public Policies, Governance, Politics, Information Technology, Business, Technology, Geopolitics, Geography, Infrastructure and History and must deal with – at least partially – Central and Eastern Europe. These two criteria are cumulative.

Organizer will grant the winner with a prize of 500 euros. French antenna Association (whose details you can find HERE) guarantees the prize.

The competition begins on December 15^th, 2022. All entries (full article) must be received by March 15^th, 2023, and finalists will be announced on April 30^th, 2023. The organizing committee may decide to extend the deadlines as it sees fit.

To enter the contest, you must prove to attend/have attended a certified university and send either an entire paper or an abstract related to the subjects listed above. All articles received that fulfil the minimum requirements as set in the rules will be both published on the website and in Blue Europe's 2022 Yearbook (provisional ISBN 978-2-492643-01-9 9782492643019).
