Premi Fred Halliday

  • The Fred Halliday Award

The Fred Halliday Award is established in the framework of the Barcelona Summer School of the Mediterranean and Middle East, and aims to commemorate Fred Halliday’s tremendous contributions to the field of International Relations. This award is created to recognize and support an outstanding mid-career scholar whose research focuses on the study of the Mediterranean and/or the Middle East. The winner, who will be selected by an international committee of experts, will receive €1000 and expected to give a keynote lecture at the annual session of the Summer School.

Eligibility

Mid-career scholars who are within within 10-15 years from the award of their doctoral degree are eligible to apply, either individually or through institutional nomination. The Scientific Committee of the Summer School is also entitled to nominate candidates to be considered by the Award Selection Committee. 

The Award is given to boost the profile of a scholar who has already published extensively in the fields of Mediterranean and/or Middle Eastern Studies, with a distinguished track record as an instructor and researcher. Applications will be assessed according to their academic rigour, originality, and contribution to scholarship. No account will be taken of the applicant's physical age or current rank, and the Award Committee will make due allowance for applicants who have had career breaks.
