Have you recently graduated and written a master’s thesis on citizen collectives, commons, collective action, or related topics? Would you like to showcase your work to a broad audience and contribute to the practice of collective power in the Netherlands and Belgium? Then enter the CollectieveKracht Thesis Award 2025!

This award is a unique opportunity to showcase your academic work beyond the university walls. You’ll contribute to social change and help bridge the gap between academia and grassroots initiatives. Together, we make knowledge collectively powerful!

The three best entries will receive a cash prize and professional support in making their work accessible and impactful (1st prize: €1,000, 2nd prize: €500, 3rd prize: €250). All three winners will also have the opportunity to collaborate with the CollectieveKracht team to translate their research into practical formats. For example a public-oriented infographic, text, animation, or short video, which will be published on CollectieveKracht.eu. This way, your insights reach the collectives that can benefit from them the most.
