2021 EU Health Award: Cancer Prevention and Mental Health

Within the general context of the EU Health Policy Platform, the European Commission launched the 2021 EU Health Award on the following two topics:

Cancer prevention: rewarding the initiatives of cities, NGOs (or other civil society organisations), and educational institutions seeking to promote communication and health literacy on cancer prevention among children and young people (from 6 to 24 years old).
Mental health: rewarding community-based initiatives alleviating the mental health impact of COVID-19.

Initiatives could include actions raising awareness, tackling prejudice and/or stigma, bridging or complementing service gaps and/or delays that have arisen from disrupted mental health service provision as a consequence of the pandemic, among others.
Interested parties are invited to check the criteria and present details of their initiative by 30 November 2021, using the online submission form.
The winners and shortlisted in each category will receive prizes ranking from EUR 1 500 to EUR 30 000.
