APSR / PCCP Young Investigator Award




Prof. Fong

We are pleased to announce the availability of an Award for one PCCP member at the APSR Congress in Kyoto, Japan, 20–21 November 2021. This Award will run each year from 2020 to 2023 inclusive, and is jointly funded by Prof. Kwun Fong and the APSR.

The winning paper is selected by the APSR, supported by the APSR Assemblies, which ranks the papers for their novelty, importance, methodology, clarity and overall quality. A consensus on the best paper is 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 which will be 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 a PCCP member with APSR membership
  • Must be the top scoring first author and able to present the paper in person at the Congress
  • 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.
  • 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 Congress. The report may be published in the APSR Bulletin and/or Newsletter.
