Launched in 2015 as part of the GCSP’s Creativity and Innovation Initiative, the GCSP Prize for Innovation in Global Security recognises groundbreaking contributions that address the world’s most pressing security challenges.
Organised by GCSP’s Geopolitics and Global Futures Department, this prestigious annual award celebrates individuals and organisations that are advancing bold, creative, and impactful solutions in the field of global security.
Open to all disciplines and sectors, the prize highlights the most inspiring and original achievements of the year – whether through new initiatives, technological innovations, research publications, or institutional accomplishments.
Applications may come from any country, but the projects should go beyond national borders in their reach or thinking and seek to address global security in innovative ways or through new ideas. A broad range of projects could qualify for consideration, including, but not limited to, technological and conceptual innovations, original research, or grassroots initiatives.
The prize is intended to encourage and recognize excellence in contributing to new approaches to enhancing sustainable global security
Awards:- The first-place laureate receives a CHF 10,000 cash award in recognition of their outstanding contribution to global peace and security.
