Since 1998, the Kaiser Maximilian Prize of the Province of Tyrol and the City of Innsbruck has honored outstanding achievements by personalities in the field of European regional and local politics.
Since its reorganization in 2019, the award has been aimed at projects and initiatives that are committed to the central goals of the European unification process in a joint, creative and sustainable manner.
Statement by Mayor Johannes Anzengruber
"Where innovation is to emerge, the free play of ideas is needed. By honoring outstanding projects, we bring the individual creativity of young role models into the spotlight. Such role models motivate and inspire us as a European community."
