For the best thesis in international studies
The SNIS opens the submission period for the 2013 SNIS Award, valued at 5000.- Swiss Francs.
The Award will be given to the best thesis in international studies submitted in a Swiss University during the calendar year of 2012.
The SNIS considers that International Studies deal not only with the analysis of international relations, but also with political, economic, social, environmental, legal, and health issues that extend beyond national boundaries. Submitted Ph.D. theses can deal with a wide range of academic disciplines, such as political science, economics, sociology, social and cultural anthropology, law, history, geography or environmental sciences.
A jury composed of professors with expertise in one or several areas relevant to international studies will evaluate the PhD theses submitted. The prize will be awarded to a thesis that can convince the jury of its interdisciplinarity.
The submission deadline is 8 April 2013.
