Value of Award: The sixth edition of the Paris Peace Forum, which will be held tentatively in Paris on November 10-11, 2023, will be a unique opportunity to move forward your project or initiative. In case of selection, you will benefit from international visibility and exposure thanks to the physical presence of your project during the event (stand or signage); you will take the floor during the event to speak about your work and/or share your views on the issue in global governance that you are addressing; and meet and discuss with experts and decisionmakers in your domain. All projects will also receive the Paris Peace Forum 2023 label and be considered by the jury of the Scale-up Committee for support throughout 2024, as part of our Scale-up program.
