In 2017, the Board of the Directors of ASECU officially announced the "Tsekouras Prize for Young Economists" following the generous offer of the Honorary President of ASECU Prof. Yannis Tsekouras and his wife Erna Jauch Tsekouras.
According their proposal the Prize will be given annually to the best paper which will be presented at the Summer School of ASECU Youth.
