APSR-JRS Awards

We are pleased to announce the availability of Awards for two JRS members at the APSR Congress in Kyoto, Japan, 20–21 November 2021.

Applications can be made for this Award when submitting abstracts to the Congress.

The JRS awards committee will select the best three abstracts from all JRS members who have applied.

The Award:
  • Travel grant based on the distance from the awardee's usual place of residence to Kyoto
  • Up to four nights' accommodation at an APSR-designated hotel
  • Complimentary Congress registration
The Awardee:
  • Must be a JRS member
  • Must be aged ≤40 at the start of the Congress
  • Cannot be a winner of any other award for the same paper nor have other travel support
  • Must register for the Congress before their individual "cut-off date".
    The cut-off date will be provided by the Secretariat after their abstract has been accepted. This date will be earlier than the usual registration deadline, to enable the programme schedule to be compiled and awards to be considered.
  • Must comply with conditions according to the JRS rules
  • The Awardee is required to send a report (circa 500 words) of their experience at the Congress to the APSR Secretariat within one month after the APSR Congress. The report may be published on the Young Investigators webpage, APSR Bulletin and/or Newsletter.
