In the context of our UNESCO Co-Chairs’ endeavour to continue an international dialogue on openness of science through the Open Science webinar series (https://unescochair-cbrsr.org/index.php/2020/09/29/open-science-webinar-series/), the Talloires Network of Engaged Universities (composed of 406 member universities in 78 countries around the world) is expanding partnership with the Open Society University Network.

The Prize recognizes and offers financial support to exceptional student community engagement initiatives at Network signatory member universities.
