The Center offers awards for previously unpublished research papers that are accepted for publication in the Center’s working paper series.
For contributors from the Claremont Colleges, these awards are normally $500.00.
These awards can take the form of either stipends or reimbursement for research-related expenses.
In selecting papers for inclusion in the series, preference will be given to papers with the following characteristics:
- Papers with direct relevance to the current situation of the European Union, including its member states; and
- Papers likely to appear later in quality, peer-reviewed journals or similar publications, as demonstrated by prior or simultaneous submission to the same.
The Center reserves the right to commission papers for its series.
