CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

The “Nenad Havelka” award is given for outstanding scientific contributions to researchers at an early stage of their careers.

The award winner has the honour of giving a keynote lecture at the annual scientific conference Empirical Studies in Psychology.

The winner of the award is chosen by a jury made up of members of the scientific board of the international scientific meeting Empirical Studies in Psychology, considering all the applications received. When evaluating candidates, the jury adheres to the framework defined in the Rules for evaluating candidates for the “Nenad Havelka” award. The scientific board reserves the right not to award the award if it judges that the applications do not meet the level of quality that this award entails. Candidates can nominate themselves and be nominated by colleagues, with the candidate’s prior consent.
