EMA runs several awarding schemes for the recognition of excellence in museums:
European Museum Academy Prize, Luigi Micheletti Award, Children in Museums Award and Heritage in Motion.
EUROPEAN MUSEUM ACADEMY PRIZE.
The EMA Prize has been established with the aim of recognising the outstanding results of organisations, researchers and cultural institutions in creating pioneering museums or producing studies and carrying on projects of European relevance which are destined to influence the development of museological discourse at the international level.
LUIGI MICHELETTI AWARD
An Award focused on contemporary history and scientific, industrial and social heritage.
Today the scheme is also open to museum of 20th century history (social, political, military) to reflect the wider scope of the Micheletti Foundation work, with whom the Award is runned in co-operation.

It was founded jointly by Europa Nostra and EMA. Now it is run by a group of active and enthusiast professionals.
