APSA-PSA International Partnership Award
Nomination Deadline: 28 January 2027
The APSA-PSA International Partnerships Award honours political scientists engaged in collaborative and productive cross-national partnerships that make a significant contribution to the discipline in the areas of teaching, research, or civic engagement. The award carries a cash prize of £2,000, funded jointly by the American Political Science Association (APSA) and the UK Political Studies Association (PSA).
Eligibility:
- Self-nominations are permitted.
- Collaborative partnerships require a minimum of two individuals and must involve at least two scholars residing in two different countries.
- Anyone applying for the award who is based at a UK higher education institution must be a member of either the PSA or APSA. Anyone applying for the award from outside the UK does not need to be a member of either association.
- Applicants, especially those for partnerships between countries other than USA-UK, are encouraged to spotlight existing connections or potential engagement with APSA and PSA members.
- The collaborative partnership award is intended to recognize a significant single collaborative contribution achieved – within a given time-frame – rather than the cumulative work of a career. Scholars at all levels are eligible for the award, including those who are early or mid-career.
- Interdisciplinary endeavours that draw on collaborations with other social scientists and/or colleagues in the arts and humanities are also welcome.
- Collaborators are encouraged to be able to demonstrate the benefit of participating in inclusive research collaborations.
Guidelines:
We are looking for entries which demonstrate tangible benefits to the Political Studies discipline from a clear collaborative endeavour of two or more individuals or groups.
- Scholarly (e.g., a peer-reviewed and published journal article, special issue or text)
- Pedagogic (e.g., a teaching resource, set of open-source teaching materials, guides or curricula content)
- Policy-orientated (e.g., a policy paper, policy briefs or networking)
- To benefit civil society (e.g., blog or vlogs, project-based initiatives, civic engagement).
Judging Process:
The award will be judged by a joint APSA and PSA panel and the winning entry will be announced at the PSA27 Annual Conference in Hull in March 2027, and at the APSA Annual Meeting in Washington DC in September 2027
