PrixGérard Foundation

An annual award recognising the most ambitious student projects — creative, feasible, and measurable in impact. Open to universities and grandes écoles in France and internationally.

Our vision

Rewarding those who dare to change the world.

We believe the best ideas to solve our era's greatest challenges often come from the next generation. The Prix Gérard Foundation is designed to identify, support, and amplify these voices.

Each winning project will receive financial support, international visibility, and mentorship within the foundation's network to turn a promising idea into real impact.
