The ISCHE Early Career Conference Paper Award* is given for the best paper presented at the previous ISCHE conference by an Early Career Researcher.

The award committee consists of four members who are jointly appointed by the chief local organizer, the President of ISCHE and the editor-in-chief of Paedagogica Historica.  In evaluating submissions the committee takes into consideration the quality of the work, innovation in sources and methods used, contribution to the annual conference theme and overall contribution to the field.

The papers submitted should be developed as if for an article submitted to Paedagogica Historica. For further information, please see the journal’s instructions for authors. Information about how to submit a paper for the award is announced at each ISCHE conference.

The ISCHE Early Career Conference Paper Award may be selected to be published in the conference special issue of Paedagogica Historica or in a general issue with acknowledgement to ISCHE conference.

 

If you presented a paper at ISCHE 45 and are interested in submitting it to the Award, you should send your paper to ische45@ische.org.

The deadline for submissions is 15 December 2024.
