Dear Students,
In 2025, the University of Luxembourg will continue the initiative of conferring the Student Initiative Award, a recognition designed to highlight and reward exceptional student-led initiatives that have made a meaningful impact within our student community and beyond.
In 2025, there will be one Student Initiative Award. However, in instances where two nominations of equivalent merit arise, it is possible that two awards may be conferred, with the financial prize divided equally between the two recipients.
The Student Initiative Award includes a monetary reward of €1,500. For reimbursement purposes, an OTP will be established at the University, accessible to the awardee.
The award will be presented during the 2025 rentrée académique.
Who is eligible?
- The award recognizes an individual student, a group of students, or a student association that demonstrated excellence during the 2024-2025 academic year.
- Eligible candidates should have made an exceptional contribution benefiting not only the student community at the University of Luxembourg but also the broader society in Luxembourg and potentially beyond.
Who can nominate?
Nominations are accepted from:
- Students currently enrolled at the University of Luxembourg.
- Academic and administrative entities within the University of Luxembourg, including but not limited to SEVE, the Office of Student Life, faculty administration, the communications department, the rectorate, and study programmes.
- Faculty or administrative staff members at the University of Luxembourg.
- Student associations.
- Associations or individuals with collaborative ties to the University of Luxembourg.
Selection process
- Nominations must be submitted to the Office of the Vice-Rector for Academic and Student Affairs (VRAE) via email to vraa@uni.lu and victor.cebotari@uni.lu
- Each nomination must be accompanied by a written justification (maximum of 300 words) detailing the nominee’s merit. Supporting documentation, such as news articles, event leaflets, or other relevant evidence, is encouraged.
- A selection committee, chaired by the Vice-Rector for Academic and Student Affairs, will evaluate the nominations once all submissions have been received by the deadline.
- Following the selection, the VRAE Office will liaise with the awardee and coordinate with the rentrée académique organization committee to discuss logistics associated with the participation in the event.
Deadline
The deadline for nominations is the 15th of July, 2025.
