Call for logo design: Celebrating 10 years of YERUN
As YERUN – Young European Research Universities Network – approaches its 10th anniversary, we are excited to mark this significant milestone with a special initiative. To celebrate a decade of fostering collaboration, innovation, and excellence in European research, education, and innovation, we are inviting students from our member universities to design a dedicated version of the YERUN logo.
YERUN, founded in 2015, is a dynamic network of European Young Research Universities with an office in Brussels. The network is the representative of the Young European Research Universities in Europe. It highlights and actively promotes the distinctive contribution of young research universities, facilitates the engagement of YERUN member universities in working together and contributing to European policies in education, research and innovation. The current strategy follows priorities on three key pillars: Talent development, an Open culture of excellence, and Responsible and engaged institutions.
Main idea
Our anniversary theme focuses on reinforcing our identity as young research universities, celebrating our spirit of collaboration and innovation, and emphasising our commitment to openness and impact.
The logo should reflect YERUN’s mission, values, and the themes of the 10th anniversary. More information and design guidelines are available here.
Grand prize
The author of the winning logo design shall receive a monetary prize of €500, and an invitation to the YERUN 10th Anniversary Conference in Brussels in June 2025, with travel and accommodation covered.
How to participate
Submit your design along with your name, university affiliation, and contact information to infouyerunpeu. Use the subject line “Project Logo YERUN 10th Anniversary_[Your Name]”. The deadline for submissions is 20 September 2024.
