The Fellow Awards
The Awards Program of the EAAE has been introduced to recognize professional excellence in agricultural economics. It has Fellow Awards and Publication Awards. Fellow Award recipients are selected on the basis of their achievements in research and their contribution to the advancement of knowledge in areas related to food, agriculture and resource economics.
The main criterion for the selection is a relevant and continuous contribution to the advancement of agricultural economics in Europe demonstrated by exceptional contributions over a period of years in at least two of the following areas: research discoveries; outstanding teaching record; outstanding performance in administration and outstanding contribution to the profession through service.
Nominations Fellows 2011 are welcome
The past and current Board believe the Fellow Awards are important for our Association; a wide involvement of the membership in the process which will lead to the fellows selection is very important in order to assure that fellows are recognised by the membership as a whole as truly deserving the honour.
The first six fellows of the EAAE were awarded at the 2008 congress in Ghent: Csaba Csaki, Michele de Benedictis, Quirino Paris, Jo Swinnen, Stefan Tangerman, and Vinus Zachariasse. At the 2011 EAAE congress to be held in Zurich, August 30-September 3 next year, a maximum of three additional fellows are to to be awarded.
The main criterion for selection is a relevant and continuous contribution to the advancement of agricultural economics in Europe. Achievements should be in research, teaching, administration and service to the profession.
"Relevant and continuous" contributions mean exceptional work over a period of years, to be demonstrated by a combination of achievements in at least two of the following areas: research discoveries; outstanding teaching record; outstanding performance in administration; outstanding contribution to the profession through service.
Nominations can be made by one or more individual members of the Association. The nomination should make clear the impact the individual nominated has made in the areas of achievement to which he or she has contributed to the advancement of the profession in Europe. This evidence could include, but is not limited to, reference to publications, awards, honours, reports and testimonials about deserving tasks undertaken and outcomes achieved, as well as other contributions to the profession. The nomination package will include the name(s) and institution(s) of the nominator(s) and will be limited to a maximum of eight double-spaced pages.
