CALL FOR PAPERS
Thanks to, and in partnership with, Palgrave Macmillan Ltd., publisher of the Association’s research and reference works, the International Association of Universities (IAU) is pleased to announce the 2012 IAU/Palgrave Prize in Higher Education Policy Research.
The aim of this Prize is to promote research in the field of higher education policy by recognizing outstanding work on a particular theme by a scholar from an IAU Member Institution or Organisation.
The theme of the 2012 competition is “Higher Education and the Global Agenda”, and is linked to the theme of the IAU 14th General Conference taking place in Port Rico, 27 – 30 November 2012.
You may wish to consider the following sub-themes when writing your paper: Are higher education institutions addressing and contributing to the challenges facing humanity? How and when are current dominant funding models steering higher education and research? Is globalization setting a new agenda for the internationalization of higher education?
The research-based essays may take the form of an analytical case study, an analysis of trends, provide an overview of relevant policies or offer the results of impact assessment. They may also look at important partnerships forged, showcase good-practice or evaluate relevant funding policies or approaches.
We would like to underline, however, that the invitation for submissions is for research- and analysis-based papers; not purely descriptive articles.
The IAU/Palgrave Prize, valued at £1,000, is awarded to the most outstanding essay received from a researcher/scholar from an IAU Member Institution or Organization. The essay should not exceed 7,500 words in length; it should be written in one of the Association’s two official languages - English or French - and be submitted in electronic format (MS Word). You will find further author instructions on Palgrave Macmillan’s website.
An international jury of distinguished scholars and higher education leaders will review the Essays submitted and select the most deserving Essay. The result will be widely disseminated by the Association.
