To recognize scholarship in the field of environmental law, the IUCN Academy has established two annual scholarship awards.

·         The Emerging Scholar Award is presented to an academic with less than 10 years academic experience since the completion of their first law degree, from a Common Law or Civil Law jurisdiction, or, given that there are various legal systems around the world, law degrees from other comparable jurisdictions.

·         The Senior Scholar Award is presented to an academic with more than 10 years academic experience since the completion of their first law degree.

Academic experience includes graduate-level research, post-doctoral positions and traditional academic appointments as lecturers, professors and similar positions.

Eligibility and Criteria

The primary consideration underlying these Awards is the quality or merit of the nominee’s published ‘scholarship’, including academic books (edited or authored), journal articles and book chapters, as well as commissioned policy reports and studies of research value. The scholarship could be published in any language. The Academy strongly encourages nominations from all regions in the world, particularly from non-OECD countries.

Consideration may also be given to other scholarly activities, such as
·               Editing an environmental law journal
·               Organizing academic conferences and workshops
·               Obtaining substantial research grants
·               Building collaborative research networks, and
·               Other innovations that advance research in environmental law.

Members of the Governing Board and of the Secretariat as well as members of the Research and Teaching and Capacity Building Committees are not eligible for Academy awards while they are serving in these positions or for 3 years thereafter.

Nomination Process

Nominators are requested to complete the attached Nomination Form and are specifically requested to propose possible reviewers who know the nominee's scholarship and who would be able to comment upon it. Such a reviewer should not be from the same law school as the candidate.

Supporting materials such as electronic links or copies of representative publications and other supporting documents (e.g., book reviews and conference programmes) are requested to enhance the strength of the nomination.

Evaluation

Nominations for the Emerging and Senior Scholarship Awards will be assessed by the Scholarship Awards Committee consisting of  two members from the Academy’s Research Committee, one former Award recipient and two environmental law scholars from the broader Academy membership who will have the benefit of independent expert reviewers. Committee members must be at arms-length from the nomination process.
