The Design Management Europe Award (DME) is a European Design management prize. The DME Award aims to promote the strategic use of design within European businesses. It awards the management and successful implementation of design in their processes and strategies to achieve their business goals.[1][2][3] The DME Network consists of 24 partners from 17 different countries that have been organizing the DME Award since 2007.[4][5]
DME Award Trophy
ADMIRE (Award for Design Management Innovating and Reinforcing Enterprises, January 2007 – February 2009)
[edit]
The DME Award started off as part of the ADMIRE programme in January 2007. The ADMIRE programme was a 2-year project in the European PRO – INNO programme of the Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry of the European Commission. The 6.4 million Euro programme addressed the Innovation management agenda of PRO – INNO Europe by raising the awareness of Design Management, in particular amongst European small and medium enterprises, to improve their competitiveness and to boost the European economy in general. It was one of the key project objectives to establish the DME Award. 18 European organisations participated in this programme under the coordination of the City of Eindhoven until the end of the ADMIRE project in February 2009.[6][7][8][9]
DME Organisation (February 2009 – Present)
[edit]
The former ADMIRE partners have been organising the DME Award since the end of the funded ADMIRE project on a voluntary basis.

The board consists of five representatives from the following organisations:[10]
- Cardiff Metropolitan University
- City of Eindhoven
- European Design Centre
- Design Austria
The costs of the DME Award ceremony are covered by the hosting cities and entering the Award is free for all participants. The entrants are challenged to represent their Design Management processes, strategies and procedures in poster format. These posters are judged by a jury of internationally recognised Design Management experts.[11]
