SozialMarie Nominated Projects 2023

The waiting has finally come to an end. This year we have received 288 applications from six different countries in Central and Eastern Europe. Most projects were submitted in the fields of education, social welfare, healthcare and diversity.

Our local evaluators have carefully read and assessed the applications. Last weekend, our expert jury had the difficult task to select the nominees, who will get the chance to win one of the SozialMarie Prizes on May 1!
