New ADCE Award: The Equal Star

In 2022, the "ADCE Equal Star" will be introduced as a new special award. The award honors a project that celebrates inclusion and equality and fights against all forms of discrimination. It is modeled on the ADCI Equal Award, which was launched in 2017 together with the Secretariat of the Italian Parliament.

Free participation for Ukrainian projects

Due to the current difficult situation in Ukraine, ADC Europe has decided not to charge participation fees for Ukrainian projects.
