The Odysseus Prizes for publications on EU Immigration or Asylum Law
The Odysseus Academic Network is proud to announce the launch of two annual prizes recognising outstanding academic research in the area of European Immigration or Asylum Law. The Young Researcher Prize will be awarded to one author aged 35 or younger for excellent published work in this area. The Best Publication Prize recognises an outstanding contribution to the field by a more experienced researcher or professor. Applications from all European countries will be considered.
The two winning authors will each receive an award of 1000. The prizes will be awarded during the 16th Annual Odysseus Summer School (http://odysseus-network.eu/2016-summer-school/), which will take place in Brussels from 4 to 15 July 2016.

Selection of the winners
Applications will be judged on their merits and their contribution to the field of research in EU Immigration or Asylum Law
The winning applications will be chosen by the Selection Committee, which is comprised of senior members of the Odysseus Academic Network, taking into consideration language needs. The Selection Committees decision is final
The prize aims to foster academic research in countries which have been identified by the Odysseus Network as having a research output in this area that could be further developed, including Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Iceland, Luxembourg, Norway and Romania. For this reason, the Selection Committee may choose to give preference to applications in line with this aim
The prizes are created in the framework of the OMNIA Project (http://odysseus-network.eu/omnia-project-overview/), coordinated by the Odysseus Network, with the financial support of the Jean Monnet Programme of the European Commission.
