 EU cities are invited to participate in the seventh edition of the Access City Award, the European Prize for making cities more accessible to people with disabilities and older people.

European cities over 50.000 inhabitants will have the opportunity to present their activities and strategies designed to make cities barrier-free, better places for everyone to live and work.

The selection process has two stages

  • first at national level
  • followed by the European selection.

There will be a first, second and third prize plus two special mentions:

  • access to work
  • accessible smart cities

At a ceremony during the annual European Day of People with Disabilities Conference in Brussels on 29 November 2016, the European Commission will hand over awards to five EU cities.

Deadline for applications: 8 September 2016, midnight Brussels time.
