Aligning finance with the ecological transition<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Call for applications open from 22 June to 5 October 2026<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The <\/span>Julie Evain Prize<\/b> recognises young researchers and young professionals whose work helps to better align finance with climate and environmental objectives. It is aimed at those who produce sound ideas that are publicly accessible and can be directly used by public decision-makers, financial supervisors, international institutions or financial actors.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than just a research prize, the Julie Evain Prize is designed as a <\/span>springboard<\/b>: it recognises not only a piece of work, but also a trajectory, an ambition and the ability to bring ideas to the places where they can help shape public policy.<\/span><\/p>\n

A prize in honour of Julie Evain<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prize pays tribute to Julie Evain, a researcher and project lead at I4CE, who passed away in February 2025. Julie joined I4CE in 2018 and worked on integrating climate considerations into prudential regulation, particularly in relation to disclosure, capital requirements, transition plans and remuneration policies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before joining I4CE, she worked at the National Assembly as a consultant and at the Ministry of the Environment on issues relating to sustainable finance. A graduate of Sciences Po Paris, she taught at the \u00c9cole des Mines, the \u00c9cole des Ponts, the University of Paris 1 Panth\u00e9on-Sorbonne and the University of Bordeaux, and contributed to several expert networks, including the Climate and Sustainable Finance Commission of the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) and the Cercle de l\u2019Expertise \u00e0 Mission.<\/span><\/p>\n

Established on the initiative of a steering committee made up of people from Julie\u2019s professional network, in agreement with her family and loved ones, the Prize aims to uphold her high standards: producing rigorous work leveraging useful insights, to inform public policy and decision makers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What the Prize aims to highlight<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prize recognises publicly accessible work that contributes to aligning financial flows with climate and environmental objectives<\/strong>, in the spirit of Article 2.1(c) of the Paris Agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n

It seeks, in particular, contributions that can help bring about change: work that can be understood, taken up and used by decision-makers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Applications will be assessed not only on their rigour, but also on their potential for dissemination, their feasibility and their relevance to European public policy.<\/span><\/p>\n
