The Swiss Russian Forum (SRF) has created the Suvorov-Prize as an award for outstanding innovative projects. Entrepreneurship plays a decisive role in the selection of the Prizewinners as the marketability of the innovation is viewed essential. The Suvorov-Prize provides the winners with USD 10’000.00 in cash and a one-year start-up coaching for the innovation project.
The purpose of the award is the strengthening of long-term sustainable economic relations between Switzerland and the Russian Federation and to enhance the cooperation in the field of innovation. Apart from distinguishing the winners, the Suvorov-Award is also intended to provide encouragement and additional publicity as well as to serve as a reference. The prize-giving ceremony is held this year in Moscow, with media presence and distinguished speakers.
Eligible for the SRF Suvorov-Award are students, graduates, post-graduates, scientific staff and doctoral candidates at all universities and colleges, as well as companies or their designated representatives.
The assessment criteria include creativity, innovation value, social relevance, marketability and Swiss Russian Context.
The deadline for the first round is 30 June. The Ceremony of the Suvorov Prize 2013 will take place at the Ararat Park Hyatt Hotel in Moscow on December 9, 2013. More information can be found on the website of SRF.
