For this purpose, the Dr. Alois Mock Science Prize was established, which awards a student or research associate for a dissertation, post-doctoral thesis or similar work on a topic relevant to Europe and covered by the aforementioned purpose of the foundation. Scientific papers had to be submitted between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2021 and will receive a grant of EUR 1,500. In addition, two Dr. Alois Mock sponsorship awards endowed with EUR 500 will be offered to students. Here, diploma, master's or similar theses will be considered that were also submitted in 2021.

Please include the topic of the scientific work, a brief description of how the work contributes to the purpose of the AMES Foundation, and the name of the academic supervisor. In the case of the sponsorship awards, a brief statement of social criteria worthy of consideration is added. As documents, the scientific work, a curriculum vitae (ideally as a Europass CV) and, if available, the expert opinion are to be attached to the submission.
An independent jury consisting of representatives of the Department for Legal Studies and International Relations and the European Documentation Centre decides on the awarding of the prizes. The jury’s decision is final and cannot be appealed.
