futurEU Competition 2026 will be launched soon!
Europe’s Path to Resilience: Shaping the Future of Security & Defence
This is going to be the topic for the sixth edition of the futurEU Competition 2026 (finals in May 2026)
“The futurEU Competition is a dynamic and inspiring project where students like you can propose fresh ideas and innovative solutions for the European Union’s future.”
Enrico Letta, EU Rapporteur on the future of the Single Market, President of the Jacques Delors Institute and former Prime Minister of Italy
The competition
In 2020, futurEU launched the futurEU competition for its first edition ever, with the support of the Jacques Delors Centre Berlin, the Hertie School and CIVICA - the European University of Social Sciences. The competition on shaping the EU of tomorrow bridges the gap between young people’s voices and opinions on one hand and public discourse and academic research on the other. It is open to all students and PhD researchers of the CIVICA alliance.
Our supporters
futurEU is financed by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) with funding from the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space (BMFTR).
