AS*EER Prize

In 2020, the Association for Socioeconomic Education and Research (AS*EER) again praises the Prize for socioeconomic education and research (AS*EER Prize)

The prize, which is endowed with up to 2,000 euros, is awarded for outstanding scientific theses, dissertations and postdoctoral theses that are dedicated to inter- and intradisciplinary approaches in socioeconomic education and science. It has been awarded annually since 2018. From 2018 to 2023, it is sponsored by the Canopus Foundation in Freiburg.

The circle of reviewers consists of the acting AS*EER board of directors. It is intended to consider work that makes an interesting and relevant contribution to the thematic, methodological, paradigmatic or didactic design of socioeconomic education and science. The papers should not be older than two years (deadline is the date of submission). The festive award ceremony will take place in virtual form as part of the GSÖBW/AS*EER Forum 2021. Detailed information on the GSÖBW/AS*EER Forum 2021 can be found here.

We cordially invite you to send your work, including relevant expert opinions and curriculum vitae, until 15.09.2020 by e-mail to kontakt@soziooekonomie-bildung.eu as well as to the following address:
