The ERSTE Foundation Award for Social Integration (referred to hereafter as the Award) adds value to social practice by highlighting innovative projects in countries of Central and Southeast Europe (CSEE).

The financial component of the Award is intended to further the awardees in their social practice. In addition to the financial grant, the Award will provide wide exposure so that winning projects get more visibility.
