EPSA 2017 Awards

12 Finalists running for the 3 European Public Sector Awards 2017

2 October 2017


Dear EPSA friends,

Last Tuesday, 26 September, a high-level jury met at EIPA Maastricht to discuss and review the 12 nominated projects for the EPSA 2017 awards together with the EPSA Team that had visited them onsite. At the end of the meeting, during deliberations behind closed doors, the jury members agreed on the winning project in each category. The three winners will be announced and celebrated on Wednesday 22 November in Maastricht during the EPSA 2017 Award Ceremony.


The 12 nominated projects come from eight European countries and one European agency. Overall, these successful projects adopted a range of responses to complex challenges facing government at all levels across Europe, such as integration policy, environmental protection and climate change, protection of elderly people, economic growth, and digital transformation, among others.


These 12 Finalists are (in increasing project number):

Supra-local and local Award


Regional Award


European and national Award
