ILO Decent Work Research Prize, 2007
Call for nominations
The ILOs International Institute for Labour Studies has created a research prize to annually reward outstanding contributions to the advancement of knowledge on the ILOs central goal of decent work for all, and calls for the nomination of candidates.
The prize
The prize will be awarded during the next International Labour Conference (to be held in June 2007 in Geneva, Switzerland) where the winner will be invited to give a lecture to a global audience of government, employer and worker representatives. There will be a financial award of USD 10,000. The winner will be made Honorary Fellow of the International Institute for Labour Studies (www.ilo.org/inst) for 2007-08.
Criteria for award
The prize winner will be selected by a five member jury consisting of eminent personalities with an international reputation and proven expertise in labour and social policy issues. This being a research prize, the jury will examine publications of the candidates.
The prize can be awarded for:
(1) Major specific contributions to the understanding of socio-economic relationships and policy instruments for the advancement of decent work as defined by the ILO (see http://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/inf/download/ecosoc/decentwork.pdf ).
The jury will look for new and original ideas;
or
(2) A lifetime contribution to knowledge on the central concerns of the ILO and its constituents (i.e. Governments, Workers and Employers) which reflects and advances understanding of the different dimensions of decent work (creating jobs; guaranteeing rights at work; extending social protection; promoting dialogue and conflict resolution; with gender equality as a cross-cutting objective).
In either case, both the excellence of the work and its practical relevance for policy purposes will be taken into account.
Who can nominate?
Individuals and institutions (e.g. members of the ILOs tripartite constituency) can nominate candidates. Neither the International Labour Office nor current ILO staff members can nominate candidates.
Who qualifies as candidate?
Only individuals qualify as candidates; the prize cannot go to an institution. ILO staff members and former ILO staff members are not eligible. Each nominee must have the support of at least one organization from the ILOs tripartite constituency (i.e. a government, a workers or an employers organization) and one leading academic (in the area of labour and social policy), coming from different regions of the world.
The dossier to be submitted
o The candidates full contact details.
o The candidates CV (in full and a brief summary).
o A statement by the candidate that s/he agrees to be nominated.
o The publication(s) to be screened by the jury, along with an executive summary or abstract of the publication(s). Where these publications are in languages other than in English, French or Spanish (the ILOs working languages), a translation into one of these languages will be required.
o Two letters of support (one from a member of the ILOs tripartite constituency and the other from a leading academic in the area of labour and social policy) setting out the reasons why this candidature should be retained.
Timing
o Deadline for candidatures: A complete file has to arrive at the ILOs International Institute for Labour Studies (IILS) by 31 December 2006.
o Decision: The jury will take its decision by mid March 2007, and the IILS will immediately notify the winner in writing.
