Strategically reposition the biggest independent annual German science prize worth 1 million EUR for wider visibility and broader impact

Challenge

We believe that the groundbreaking achievements of scientists deserve not just the due celebration but should be visible and accessible to all parts of society. Hence, our rethinking of the prize strategy as well as the repositioning of the event and brand activities for the Körber European Science Prize had one clear target: Make the biggest independent annual German science prize worth €1 million visible and widely recognised across Europe. Utilising our proprietary framework for rethinking and repositioning outstanding awards, we created an insightful field overview, an impactful strategy and a proposal for a unique award ceremony design to set the scene for the Körber Foundation’s outstanding science engagement activities.
