Note that eligible dissertations do not have to be in English, but may be in any European language; as a European association, the EBHA values cultural and linguistic diversity.
Three finalists will be selected from the dissertations submitted for consideration, and the authors will be required to give a presentation based on their dissertations at a plenary session at the EBHA congress in Ancona. All three finalists will receive a certificate that they have been among the short-listed candidates and will be eligible for reimbursement of part of their travel costs.
All candidates wishing to enter the prize competition must attach a 1-2 page summary of their dissertation to the application along with a printed copy of the dissertation itself. The candidate must document that the thesis has been accepted. For full entry procedures, please see the relevant section of the EBHA meeting website.
