    The paper must have a PhD student as its first author.

 

The winning papers must display methodological rigor, theoretical relevance, innovativeness, and new insights into organizational phenomena. – The prizes are awarded at the following EGOS Colloquium.

  • After the EGOS Colloquium in July, the sub-theme convenors nominate not more than one paper for each of the three awards out of the full papers submitted to their sub-theme via the EGOS website by August 31 that year.
