The MAV Cluster has launched a public call to select the proposal for the design and manufacturing of the trophies for the MAV Awards 2026, awards that annually recognise leading projects in innovation, sustainability and collaboration in the field of advanced materials.

The call is open to individuals, companies, technology centres, universities and consortia made up of multiple entities or individuals, whether or not they are members of the MAV Cluster, and with no geographical limitation.

The aim is to select a proposal that results in four units of the same trophy, with small variations identifying each of the MAV Awards categories. The trophies must reflect the values that define the MAV Cluster and the sector it represents: innovation, sustainability and collaboration among diverse stakeholders.

This is a call with no financial compensation, but with broad sector visibility and prominent presence during MAV Day through, among other actions, a dedicated video documenting the trophy design and manufacturing process, which will be shared through the Cluster’s communication channels.

Proposals will be assessed by the MAV Cluster Board of Directors, based on criteria such as conceptual coherence, the use of advanced materials, the manufacturing process, sustainability, and alignment with the cluster’s philosophy.

The deadline to submit applications is 31 March 2026, via the form provided by the MAV Cluster. 

With this call, the MAV Cluster reaffirms its commitment to promoting shared knowledge, collaboration and innovation as drivers of industrial competitiveness.
