Pure Life Awards

The Leben pur Funding Awards are awarded annually by the Leben pur Foundation and support innovative scientific as well as practice-oriented work aimed at improving the quality of life for people with complex disabilities. Prizes are awarded to contributions distinguished by a high degree of innovation and immediate everyday relevance. For the year 2025, the focus is on the topic "Living and Residential Spaces for People with Complex Disabilities". Submissions can be made nationwide by private individuals, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations. Scientists and practitioners are invited to submit their work to highlight novel approaches for barrier-free and supportive housing concepts and to promote their dissemination.

To participate in the selection process, submission of a scientific or practice-oriented work on the annual theme is required. Evaluation criteria include innovation, everyday relevance, and practical orientation. Applications must include the complete manuscript (e.g., dissertation or project report) along with a concise summary of the work. Submission deadlines are announced annually on the Foundation’s website. A jury of experts reviews all materials according to established quality standards. The award is presented in the form of prize money as well as public recognition of the winning projects. Interested parties can find all details regarding participation requirements, submission documents, and deadlines in the funding documents of the Leben pur Foundation. This award provides an important platform to sustainably promote groundbreaking research results and practice-related concepts and to transfer them into practice.
