This award was established by AUDI AG in 2009 and provides young, like minded individuals with access to new technologies and sustainable practices that will benefit both the environment and society. The program recognizes the influence of scarce resources and environmental degradation on areas such as business, politics, and society. This program aims to develop solutions to these problems through collaboration and leadership.
Fifteen scholarships are available to provide young scholars with access to discussions surrounding sustainability and international cooperation. Each scholar will be granted access to the summit, as well as receive full financing of all associated expenses. Travel to and from The Hague will be financed, as well hotel accommodations for the duration of the program (from the 16th to 20th of October) and all catered meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Scholars will also receive transport between the pre-event location, accommodations, and venue. Their participation in the event will be fully paid for by the award as well.
