Bevica Scholarship Award Ceremony 2025
Join us for a festive afternoon as we celebrate and announce the winners of the Bevica Scholarship Programme 2025–26 at the Award Show. The programme is conducted in English.
At the Award Show, you will meet some of the most promising upcoming talents in universal design, when the finalists of the Bevica Scholarship Programme pitch their projects live on stage before the international jury selects the winners.
You’ll gain insights and inspiration on how universal design can be translated into practice and contribute to inclusion and diversity in a society built on equality for all.
