Dear Students,
we invite you to participate in the Blue Europe 2024-2025 “Denis de Rougemont” writing contest. Blue Europe is a non-profit, privately funded, independent think tank based in Luxembourg, France, and Poland. Their mission is to foster exchanges between Western, Central, and Eastern Europe, especially in the realms of economic development and public policy.
The contest is open to all currently enrolled students, as well as recent graduates from the academic year 2024. The organizers welcome original articles on a wide range of topics, including Economy and Trade, Industry and Business, Literature and Cultural Studies, Political Science and Governance, International Relations, Sociology, Law and Human Rights, Environmental Studies and Climate Policy, Innovation and Technology, Energy and Sustainability, Education and Research Collaboration, Migration and Demographic Studies, Public Policy and Administration, Regional Development and Urban Planning, Security Studies and Geopolitics. Each submission should have a focus – at least partially – on Central and Eastern Europe, in alignment with Blue Europe’s mission.
This year, Blue Europe is offering two prizes of €1000 and €500 to the first and second places respectively. All participants will also receive a signed certificate containing the evaluation of their paper, as well as the opportunity to be published on Blue Europe.
The competition has begun on September 1, 2024, and registration (abstracts) must be received by January 31, 2025. Final papers must be received by May 31, 2025. Please note that the organizing committee reserves the right to extend the deadlines if necessary. To participate, you must provide proof of enrolment in a certified university or recent graduation and submit either a full paper or an abstract related to one of the subjects mentioned above.
For any inquiries, please contact us at contest24@blue-europe.eu. The team primarily responds in English, Polish, and French (responses in German, Spanish, and Italian may be delayed).
