Every year since 2011, the Convergences Awards reward the best projects initiated by public, private and solidarity-based partners seeking to build a fair and sustainable future and a “Zero exclusion, Zero carbon, Zero poverty” world. The Convergences Awards are open to projects carried out by a solidarity-based or academic/research organisation in partnership with private or public organisations. The project must have a high social and/or environmental impact; it must also be innovative and replicable.
