IAAE Award

 

International Association of Agricultural Economists (IAAE) Travel Award

Purpose

AARES will grant $2,000 to assist with travel and conference registration fee costs for at least one travel award to the triennial International Association of Agricultural Economics (IAAE) conference.

The objective of this award is to provide the winners with an opportunity for professional and personal development and international professional and cultural exchange. In 2021 AARES provided the Roley Piggott Travel Award to the IAAE conference.  

Background

Every three years, the International Association of Agricultural Economists (IAAE) organises a conference on agricultural economics, which attracts up to 1,000 delegates. The Association aims to:

  • foster the application of agricultural economics to improve rural economic and social conditions
  • advance knowledge of agriculture's economic organisation
  • facilitate communication and information exchange among those concerned with rural welfare.

The next conference is due to be held in 2024; for more information, please visit the IAAE website.

Eligibility

These awards are intended for agricultural and resource economists of all ages but in the early stages of their careers. Thus, stage of career rather than age, is what defines an appropriate applicant. Applicants for the awards must be members of AARES.

Nominations

Applications for the awards should include:

  • a paper for presentation at the IAAE conference, representing their original and unpublished work;
  • a one-page biographical statement; and
  • a one-page statement in support of their application, indicating what they would hope to accomplish through the award, and why they would be deserving of the award.

Selection Committee

The AARES Travelling Awards Committee will oversee the process to call the awards and assess the nominations.

Eligibility

Applicants must be members of AARES and must have already had a copy of their paper or poster accepted for presentation at the IAAE Conference. Entries must normally be received by a minimum of 9 months before the IAAE conference.

Entries

A call for nominations will be advertised in News and Views and on the AARES website.

Entries will normally close at least by April in the year of the IAAE conference.

Entries are to be submitted electronically to the AARES Central Office.

Travel Awards Committee

The Travel Awards Committee comprises:

  • The President of AARES (Chair) 
  • The President Elect of AARES
