The ALLEA Madame de Staël Prize 2025 Opens First Call for Nominations 

ALLEA is pleased to announce a call for applications for the next edition of the ALLEA Madame de Staël Prize 2025. The deadline for submissions is September 30. 

The Prize is awarded annually. It is a part of the larger mission of ALLEA to promote the rich and diverse intellectual, scientific, and cultural heritage of Europe. It is awarded to eminent individuals whose work represents a significant contribution to integrity and development of Europe, thereby promoting and strengthening an understanding of Europe as multifaceted, intellectual, open, and vibrant.    

The idea of the ALLEA Madame de Staël Prize emerged in 2014 with the inauguration of the “New Narrative for Europe” project initiated by then President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso (2004–2014). 

The Prize recognizes researchers or intellectuals whose work has contributed significantly to the advancement of Europe. A laureate’s work is ideally of an interdisciplinary nature and exhibits a remarkable and demonstrable contribution to the processes behind European development, integration and identity. 

The laureate of the ALLEA Madame de Staël Prize 2025 is set to be announced at the end of the year, with a Prize handover ceremony planned for 2026. 

Please find more detailed information on the nomination process for the ALLEA Madame de Staël Prize. 

Nominations should be directed electronically to our ALLEA Liaison Officer, Dagmara Bożek: bozek@allea.org, by 30 September 2025.
