Awards

Throughout the years EUNIS has awarded the best in European Higher Education IT. The EUNIS Elite Award, Dørup Award, EUNIS Award for AV enabled learning space and Congress Best Paper Award are given each year.

In addition to these awards, EUNIS may act as a joint partner of other Higher Education IT associations. An example is our partnership with the Vietsch Foundation whereby EUNIS scientific committee can put forward project proposals which it thinks may be worthy of funding by the foundation. The final decision is made by the Veitsch Foundation.

Another example is that entries for the EUNIS Award for AV enabled learning space will be put forward for the Avixa global AV experience awards (AVXA). The final decision on these awards is made by AVIXA judges.

The award is organised by the EUNIS Learning and Teaching Special Interest Group. The call for submissions for the EUNIS Dørup E-learning Award is done at the same time as the general call for papers for the annual Congress and the winner is selected by the Dørup Award Judging Panel. The award is not a monetary award, but the winner will receive a special certificate and a framed print of a painting by Danish artist Maj Dørup (daughter of Jens Dørup).
