APSR Travel Award

This Award is offered to authors of outstanding papers presented at the APSR Congress in Kyoto 20–21 November 2021.

Papers are selected by the APSR, supported by the APSR assemblies, who rank papers for their novelty, importance, methodology, clarity and overall quality. A consensus on the best papers are then obtained through a rigorous judging system.

The Award:

  • US$500
  • Invitation to the Gala Dinner (or similar social event) at the Congress
  • Commemorative certificate, presented during the Gala Dinner (or similar social event) at the Congress.
  • The awardee may also be introduced on the APSR website, Bulletin and social media.

The Awardee:

  • Must be the first author and able to present the paper in person at 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.
