Frieda Ottmann and co-authors awarded prize for the best Europaeum Scholars project

Project House Europe researcher in the ANR-DFG research project ELEMENT Frieda Ottmann took part in the Europaeum Scholars Program. Organized by the Europaeum university network it offers excellent PhD students the opportunity to connect research with the world of policy making. As part of this program, Frieda Ottmann co-authored the recently published policy report of the ‘From Data to Dignity’ project.

This project was awarded the prize for the best Europaeum Scholars project by its panel of expert assessors in 2025. The project takes up the challenge of how EU member states might implement the Migration and Asylum Pact. In particular, it focuses on the monitoring requirement in relation to reception centres, proposing a series of measures that give voice to the inhabitants, help to ensure better living conditions, and respect the culture of those who live there.
