The Charlemagne Prize Academy
Supports innovative and creative research ideas
The Charlemagne Prize Academy, established by the Charlemagne Prize Foundation in 2019, aims to support innovative and creative research ideas, characterised by addressing future challenges and new approaches in a European context.
The Academy's idea consists of two pillars: A one-year Fellowship Programme comprising financial and scientific support for outstanding talents planning to research topics of European relevance, and a prospective Summit in autumn aiming to connect new findings with practical activities.
The Charlemagne Prize Fellowship distinguishes itself from other programmes by providing young and creative minds with the unique opportunity to engage directly with global decision-makers and to integrate practical knowledge alongside scientific approaches. Our objective is to empower young European talents to access academic or professional careers by establishing a shared network, fostering exchanges with European leaders, and facilitating connections with partner institutions across academia, business, politics, and media. Moreover, we aspire to catalyse leading European institutions to address the critical concerns of the younger generation, which will undoubtedly shape our collective future.
Through this mutual benefit, we aim to cultivate an environment that embraces forward-thinking vision and creativity. This environment will anticipate potential challenges and opportunities before they become mainstream topics of debate, offering innovative approaches to counter stagnation and promote progress.
