EAAE Publication Awards for 2018

You can now submit nominations for the Research Discovery Award and the Policy Contribution Award in honour of Giovanni Anania

The Publication Awards program of the European Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE) recognizes professional excellence in research contributing to the advancement of knowledge in areas related to food, agricultural and resource economics.

The Publication Awards program of the EAAE includes three annual Awards:

• the Outstanding ERAE Journal Article
• the Research Discovery Award
• the Policy Contribution Award in honour of Giovanni Anania.

For the Outstanding ERAE Journal Article Award, all articles published in the Review in 2018 are automatically eligible. The recipient is selected by the ERAE Editorial Board; there is therefore no formal nomination procedure.

For the Research Discovery Award and the Policy Contribution Award in honour of Giovanni Anania, outstanding publications can be nominated by members of the Association, including self-nominations.

The EAAE is now seeking nominations in the two categories of Research Discovery Award and Policy Contribution Award in honour of Giovanni Anania for journal articles published in the calendar year 2018. Please don’t hesitate to nominate your own publication or to nominate colleagues’ publications.

The EAAE has decided to open a separate Award category for books. The announcement will be made in 2019.

Publication Awards are a quality signal from the profession. They are good for CVs!

The nomination procedure is very simple:

• Send by email both your own contact details (as in your business card) and the article in pdf that you wish to nominate;
• All nominations will be scored on several criteria including relevance, quality, originality, potential policy impact;
• Send nominations to the Secretary-General of the Association (eaae@wur.nl) by the 1^st of March 2019.
• Members of the current Publication Awards Selection Committee (see below) are not eligible to be nominated for an Award.

Nominated publications should be in the English language and can enter the selection process only if at least one of the authors is a member of the EAAE at the time the selection process starts.

The Publication Awards Selection Committee will assess the suitability of the nominated and eligible publications for both the Research Discovery Award and the Policy Contribution Award in honour of Giovanni Anania.

The Award recipients are proposed by the Publication Awards Selection Committee to the EAAE board.  Recipients of Awards will be presented at the next EAAE triennial Congress in Prague August 25-28, 2020.

Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between

the European Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE)

and

the Austrian Association of Agricultural Economists (ÖGA)

The European Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE) and other sister Associations in the world share a common interest in: promoting the agricultural and resource economics profession; fostering analytical capacities in all areas relevant for agriculture, the food sector, rural development and natural resources and; promoting the exchange of experiences, ideas and information on research activities between agricultural economists. For this reason the EAAE board initiated Memorandums of Understanding (MoU’s) with other associations. The MoU’s specify the kind of activities the EAAE and the other Associations agree to perform with the aim of expanding cooperation and generating synergies, particularly with reference to the dissemination of information regarding their activities among each other’s membership.

Herewith the EAAE board announces that the Memorandum of Understanding between the ÖGA and the EAAE is approved and signed by the Board of the ÖGA, mr Jochen Kantelhardt and by the Board of the EAAE, Margherita Scoppola, on 6 December 2018.
