Working Group of the Year Prize

We're thrilled to introduce this new prize that celebrates the achievements of the BISA working groups. Working groups are at the heart of BISA and directly contribute to the development of International Studies. All conveners are volunteers so we hope this new prize will help to recognise and celebrate their achievements.

The prize will be awarded to a working group that has contributed to raising awareness of international studies, and increasing the visibility and impact of BISA and/or its members through its activities, including support for early-career researchers in the last year (since June 2023). 

Nominees must be members of a BISA working group. To make a nomination you should complete the prize nomination form inclusive of a supporting statement up to 300 words. You should provide evidence of how the working group has promoted the activities of its members in research, teaching, and engagement with other audiences through events, e.g. conferences, workshops, and impact and engagement activities.

Nominations open on Monday 8 January and close on Monday 12 February at 11.59pm (UK time).
