During the DEB Impact Day in Amersfoort on 2 December 2025, the five winners of the REmagine Awards were announced. Fifteen finalists were selected from 103 entries across the five DEB impact themes; each winner received a specially designed crystal trophy and €5,000 to spend freely.
DEB chair Peter Verhoef: "Imagine the fundamental role that economics and business education can play in training a generation that focuses not only on profit and growth, but also on broad prosperity. With this award, we honour individual achievements and demonstrate the power of fresh perspectives in bringing about positive change."
Twenty-nine Master-thesis laureates — ten winners (five per cohort) and nineteen finalists — across the five DEB Impact Agenda themes. The first PhD and Senior Faculty cohorts will join the showcase after the 24 November 2026 ceremony.
