CEMS Club Awards

Celebrating the creativity, energy, and impact of CEMS student clubs across the alliance.

CEMS Clubs are at the heart of the student experience. They organise events, foster community, and bring the CEMS spirit to life on every campus. The CEMS Club Awards recognise the achievements of local clubs each semester, highlighting initiatives that connect students, alumni, corporate partners, and the wider community.

 

Eligibility & Nominations

  • Open to all CEMS Clubs at member schools.
  • All students in a given semester may vote for their local club.
  • Clubs must reach a 30% participation threshold in voting to be eligible.

Selection Process

The award is decided in two steps:

  • Student Voting: end of each semester
  • Best Practices Submission:
    Eligible clubs submit best practices in areas such as socialising, marketing & communication, alumni relations, corporate relations, and CSR. Submissions are anonymised and reviewed by Student Board Representatives (SBRs) and CEMS Club Presidents. Winning best practices receive additional points on top of student voting scores.

Frequency

Twice per year (Term 1 & Term 2). Winners are announced at the following CEMS Club Conference, with first-place clubs celebrated at the CEMS Graduation Ceremony.
