ISPIM Innovation Management Dissertation Award 2017

Our community relies on the current crop of PhD researchers to develop the insights, theories and tools to shape the future of innovation management thinking and action. The ISPIM Innovation Management Dissertation Award, sponsored by Innovation Leaders and Wiley will reward this endeavour. Authors of the best three dissertations, as selected by the Scientific Panel, will be able to attend the ISPIM Conference in June 2017 for free.

Additionally, the winner will receive a prize of EUR 2500, and the runners-up EUR 1500 each, courtesy of Innovation Leaders and Wiley.

Eligibility

Entries from students who completed their PhD or equivalent doctoral degree between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2016 are welcome. The degree completion date, which must fall in 2016for the student to be eligible, is the day on which the student complet ed the final requirement for the degree. It follows, therefore, that the student will have completed all dissertations, coursework, corrections, examinations (oral or written), presentations or indeed any other requirement set by the awarding institution before applying for the ISPIM Award.

The dissertation does not need to have been previously published. Your nationality and location of the degree granting institution have no influence on eligibility. All documents must be in English, except the dissertat ion, which may be in the original language. However, should the student be short-listed among the three prize candidates, the student will submit a full version of the dissertation in English to remain eligible. ISPIM will not publish or distribute the sub mitted dissertations to anyone, other than the Scientific Panel members and then only for the purpose of evaluation for the ISPIM Award. The three winners will allow their outline to be published online.

Award

All three finalists are obliged to attend the ISPIM Conference and may do so for free. The cost of travel and accommodation will not be covered. The winning author will receive EUR 2500 and each of the two runners- up EUR 1500. It goes without saying that the publicity for their dissertation and benefit of the prestigious nature of the Award are also important awards.
