EuroFM Best Teacher Award
EuroFM is delighted to open the Call for the Best FM Teacher Award—honouring exceptional educators who are transforming how we teach, learn, and think about Facilities Management in today’s rapidly evolving world.
Education is at the heart of a resilient and socially sustainable FM future. As FM becomes more interdisciplinary and value-driven, the role of educators in shaping ethical, inclusive, and forward-thinking professionals is more critical than ever. This award recognizes those who inspire not only through teaching excellence, but also by embedding social, environmental, and community-oriented values into their educational practice.
We welcome nominations and self-submissions from individuals in higher education, vocational training, and professional development who have significantly contributed to the advancement of FM education—within or beyond the classroom.
We are looking for educators who:
Innovate
Develop and deliver fresh, interdisciplinary, or experiential learning approaches that reflect real-world FM challenges and opportunities. This might include new curricula, digital tools, partnerships with industry, or unique student engagement strategies.
Make a tangible impact
Demonstrate clear outcomes—whether through student success, research integration into teaching, influence on professional practice, or contributions to educational policy and program development in FM.
Champion sustainability
Embrace and promote a broad understanding of sustainability, ethics, equity, inclusion, and the well-being of people and communities affected by the built environment.
Foster collaboration
Actively build bridges between academia, industry, and society—engaging with diverse stakeholders to co-create relevant, real-world educational experiences and shape the future FM workforce.
The selected educator will be recognized on the EuroFM Conference stage, featured across our digital platforms, and invited to share their educational journey and impact with our international community.
The EuroFM Best Teacher Award is presented annually at the EuroFM Conference. For all information about the award, including nominations and key dates, please visit the EuroFM Conference page and check the “Awards” section.
