Presented by Informatics Europe
Sponsored by Microsoft

*Now Open for Submissions

**********************************************************

The Informatics Europe Best Practices in Education Award recognises 
outstanding European educational initiatives that improve the quality of 
informatics teaching and the attractiveness of the discipline, and can 
be applied and extended beyond their institutions of origin.

The Award will reward a successful teaching effort in Europe that:

  * has made a measurable difference in informatics education;
  * is widely applicable and useful for the teaching community;
  * has made a measurable impact in its original institution(s) and beyond.

Examples of impact include course results, traditional and online 
courses, learners’ projects, textbooks, professional development, and 
influence on the curriculum of other institutions/countries.

*The 2022 Education Award Theme is educating the workforce for the 
digital transformation.* The winner will be an outstanding European 
informatics educational initiative that prepares the workforce for the 
digital transformation in the classroom or beyond, at school or 
university level, or outside of institutions. Educational initiatives 
may be technology-based (for example, using instructional technologies, 
MOOCs, learning analytics, etc.) or pedagogical. Experiences in this 
area, as well as new educational approaches with some evidence of their 
effectiveness, are welcomed.

*The Award is sponsored by Microsoft and carries a prize of EUR 5,000.*

The Award can be given to an individual or to a group. To be eligible, 
participants must be located in one of the member or candidate member
