Call for Nominations: 2025 Role Models in Economics Award Now Open
All members of the economics profession are invited to nominate an individual for the 2025 Role Models in Economics Award.
The 2025 Award is for an economist older than 45, who both is a rigorous scholar and has made significant contributions to the academic environment and the public good in Europe in a broad sense. These contributions may include, for example, establishing and coordinating innovative academic programs (undergraduate, master, PhD); leading a department or a research center which attracts talents to Europe; setting up innovative dissemination and outreach initiatives that can positively impact the lives of people well beyond academia; exceptional mentoring to students; coordinating initiatives to help PhD students going on the junior job market; and much more.
The winner of the Award will be announced in late spring, and the Award will be presented to the recipient during EEA 2025. The Award consists of a prize of 10,000 euros, which the recipient will use to foster and support novel initiatives geared toward helping the careers of PhD students and junior faculty in Europe.
Please send nominations (including self-nominations) to us through admin@eeassoc.org, writing “Role Models in Economics Nomination" in the subject line of your message. Please include in your nomination:
