The European Commission Blue Book Traineeships programme has been nominated for the European Ombudsman Award. Public voting is ongoing until 20 June 2021.

The European Commission Blue Book Traineeships programme and the resilience it has shown during these challenging times has been nominated for the European Ombudsman Award for Good Administration, in the category of “Excellence in crisis management”. 

The digital Award ceremony, which you can follow via the event page, will take place on 24 June 2021. In addition to a winner for each of the four categories indicated in the programme and an overall Award winner, there will be a public vote winner this year.  

Have a look at the list of nominations and especially the initiatives targeting young people, such as the Traineeships Programme (project n°3), which adapted very quickly in the COVID-19 crisis to allow all trainees to gain valuable experience during their traineeship at the European Commission.
