The promising practices of 2026 EASPD Innovation Awards are available in the E-Catalogue section of the Knowledge Hub. 

About the Awards

The Innovation Awards are held annually with the goal of promoting innovation by highlighting the work of service providers across Europe. All participating organisations are invited to subit their practices, which will undergo an evaluation by an independent jury based on their innovative approaches and potential for impact.

Hosted within the framework of the EASPD and Humanitas’ International Conference, Leading Change in Disability Services: Strengthening capacity for person-centred support, the sixth edition of the Innovation Awards focused on innovative approaches that drive organisational development. The winning practices overcome existing barriers and strengthen the capacity of support services to deliver quality support, in line with the principles of the UNCRPD and the EU Framework on Social Services of Excellence.

Through our Knowledge Hub, these practices can live beyond the Awards ceremony and remain accessible for members to explore, learn from, and adapt. We hope this encourages cross-organisational collaboration and inspires others to build on what is already working well across Europe.

Alongside the E-Catalogue, the Knowledge Hub includes a free E-Learning section with open online courses and an E-Library gathering practical resources, covering all the topics of our work.

Do you have an educational resource that you think belongs on the Hub?
