The Award has been created with the aim of recognising and giving international visibility to the work being carried out by the Educating Cities to improve the quality of life of their cities, in accordance with the principles of the Charter of Educating Cities. The idea is that the Award could be delivered every two years coinciding with an IAEC Congress.

The Awarded projects will be announced within the coming 14^th IAEC Congress which will take place in Rosario (Argentina) in June 2016. The cities whose projects receive the Award will be invited to present their own experience in a plenary session of the 14^th IAEC Congress and will receive an award diploma.

Those member cities interested in submitting a bid to the Award, can do it until February 29^th 2016. Every member city will be able to present a maximum of 2 experiences per call.

The candidatures will be assessed by a Jury made up of members of the IAEC Executive Committee, a representative from United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and two academic experts.
