DISTINGUISHED ACADEMIC AWARD
It is intended that the Distinguished Academic Award (DAA) should be made GCBSS annual Conferences to an individual who has made a substantial and direct contribution to academic Business and Social Sciences life. Such contributions could have been received through research, teaching and public service. It should be noted that research contributions are not the only form of distinction recognised, although it is likely that it is a highly important form. The award will normally only be given to an individual who has spent a substantial amount of time in his or her academic career within a higher education institution around the word. The award can only be made once to any given individual.
GCBSS Series will seek nominations for this award from its membership in the autumn of each year. Each year a sub-committee will consider the nominations, together with any other names it sees fit to consider. The sub-committee will then make a recommendation, along with a brief report on the process followed, to the GCBSS Executive Committee as to whom the award should be made. The award would then be made at the following GCBSS Annual Conference, subject to the individual concerned agreeing to accept the award.
The current award stands at $500. The monetary size of the award will be reviewed each year by the GCBSS Executive Committee.
The chief responsibility of the award-holder is to present the paper during one of the panel sessions at the GCBSS Annual Conference subsequent to the Annual Conference at which the award is given. Subject to appropriate editing, it is expected that the paper presented will appear, as an invited paper, in any of the GCBSS Series associated Journal. Given this responsibility, it will normally (although not inevitably) be the case that the award will be given to a currently active academic.
LIFE-TIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
It is intended that Life-time Achievement Awards (LAAs) should be made annually to one or more individuals who have made a substantial and direct contribution to academic Business and Social Sciencesover the course of their careers. Such contributions will have been made through research, teaching or public service. The award will only be given to an individual who has spent a substantial amount of time in his or her academic careers within a higher education institute around the world.
GCBSS Series will seek nominations for this award from its Past GCBSS Delegates in the Autumn of each year. Each year a sub-committee will consider the nominations, together with any other names it sees fit to consider. The sub-committee will then make a recommendation, along with a brief report on the process followed, to the GCBSS Executive Committee as to whom the award should be made. The award would then be made at the following GCBSS Annual Conference, subject to the individual concerned agreeing to accept the award.
