Only young researchers endorsed and nominated by an IACFS member centre are eligible. They include full-time researchers, masters, doctoral and post-doctoral students, as well as former students. The age limit is 35 years old at the time of tabling the application.
Young researchers are invited to submit a journal-length article (8 000 - 10 000 words) on a topic dealing with an aspect of federalism. The topic does not need to be linked to the theme of the IACFS annual conference. The paper must be an original work and written in English. It may have already been submitted for publication but not published.
A young researcher submits his/her work to the director of the centre and each center may nominate up to three candidates. Nominations and papers must be submitted to ronaldwattsaward@eurac.edu no later than 30 April 2024.
