The Inaugural QS World Merit Awards 2022 are the opportunity for all our stakeholders to celebrate and recognize the QS World Merit community of young leaders for their social impact across 2022. You can learn more about QS World Merit here. 

The event will wrap up the QS Reimagine Education Conference, where we will bring together our Councils, our community, new and old, partners and supporters to shine a light on the incredible work and lives impacted through our projects and campaigns throughout the year. There will be music, inspirational speeches, leaders panels, of course the awards and even an opportunity for you to network! 

If you are someone who has made impact in your community, you can win an award. All you need to do is upload an impact report on QS World Merit. Read our guide to see how to upload an impact report before 28th November! 

A Generation of Action 

Young people are the ones shifting the needle on some of the world's most complex issues. The theme for this year’s QS World Merit Awards is therefore ‘A Generation of Action’. 

During this event we hope to inspire, recognise and reward the people doing tangible work that makes our planet a more regenerative place. 

Apart from the Awards itself, everyone who joins the event will receive a free Take Action Guide filled with tools and inspiration on how to take action in your local community. We have added an exhibitors booth in the middle for our partners and our community to interact! We have also kept a networking opportunity at the end of the event for the community.
