Student Prize

The Swiss Ethnobiology Network strives to encourage students in their early career and awards a yearly prize to support high quality project ideas in the field of ethnobiology.

Eligibility criteria:

• The research project must essentially focus on an ethnobiology-related topic.
• The work must be linked to Switzerland (personally, institutionally, or thematically).
• The application must be in English or one of the Swiss national languages.

Applications will be evaluated by a panel of three experts. The winner of the prize will be informed by 31 December 2024 and the official result will be communicated at the annual symposium (usually in February or March), where applicants will be encouraged to present their work. The prize winner receives a certificate, a 3 years membership to the network and CHF 300.-. The network reserves its right not to award the prize.

Please submit the completed application form along with a proof of studentship, and an official project plan using the application form below.
