Process
The first evalation step is the preselection of about 20 submissions that participate in the competition. This selection is based on four gradings given by reviewers, and uses the following criteria: relevance to ecological economics, academic quality, and rigour/clarity/flair of writing.
The selected students must submit the paper by 15th of May.
The second step is the assessment of the full paper by the jury, who will select 6 finalist papers that will be presented by the students at the conference in the best student prize session.
After the presentations the jury will select the three winning papers, which will be announced in the ESEE general meeting, and awarded in the final ceremony.
