Please note that the board will prima facie consider around 10 years from receiving a PhD as a cutoff for whether a scholar is at “an early stage of their academic career.” If you for some reason want to nominate someone who received their PhD more than 10 years ago, please state clearly why the board should make an exception. Alternatively, consider whether the individual contribution is sufficient for consideration of the Covey award.

Please send your nomination(s) through our online form: https://limesurvey.mq.edu.au/index.php/264278?newtest=Y&lang=en

Please fill in the form no later than December 20, 2023, for full consideration. If you have any questions, please email me at b.a.lundgren@uu.nl (please CC iacap@ballsun.com). Or contact the IACAP board through Slack.
