How to participate

Who can take part?

The Archimedes Prize is awarded to students who are nationals of an EU Member or Associated State, or they have been residing in the European Union for at least the last five years, e.g. an Australian who has been residing in Spain for at least the last five years.

Applicants for the prize are undergraduates who are registered at a university or equivalent higher education institution and are currently attending a degree.

Applications can be made by teams of students, as well as by individual students.

How to take part

It's simple! First of all you need to either download or request a paper copy of the following information:

• The Call for Proposals, which is available in 11 languages, and provides background information on how to get involved, i.e. topics for the award, deadline for applications, address where applications must be sent, etc.

• The Guide for Proposers and Entry Form - this is available on this web site in 11 languages and in printed form in English.

Next, complete the forms, providing a description of the research project that has been carried out in a maximum of 10 pages and a summary report. In addition, Applicants will need to give the name and address of the university/institution where they are studying, as well as proof of registration.

Once forms are completed they should be sent together with any accompanying information to the address given in the call, so that they arrive at the European Commission by 31 July 2001. Applications may be submitted by the student/s who were involved in the project or by a third party not involved in the project.
