Regional
Science Association International Founder's Medal
The Founder's Medal was established to recognize lifetime contributions
to the field of Regional Science and to the Association. The criteria
established for the award are as follows: the recipient should be
a senior scholar who has contributed in an important way to the
field of Regional Science in a scholarly sense; the recipient should
have been active in the RSAI for a sustained period, but not necessarily
active at the time of the award; also, the award is not given posthumously;
the recipient should be a person with whom many members can identify;
his/her contributions could be a major work in one area or many
works in several areas; he contribution need not be limited to one
type of contribution; it might be theory, method or policy, for
example; it is recognized that the native country and language of
scholars affect the extent to which they are known by the membership,
and an effort should be made to take this into account.
RSAI
Dissertation Contest
The Association encourages doctoral-level scholarship by sponsoring
each year the RSAI Dissertation Contest. Dissertations must focus
on a regional science topic and represent a substantial contribution
to research. The Association invites the submission of dissertations
in the field of Regional Science to the annual competition. |
