The Global Development Network is accepting entries for its Eighth Annual Global Development Awards and Medals Competition 2007. The Network says that this is “the largest international competition on development research”, and it offers prizes in cash and travel totalling nearly $240,000.
The competition is open only to researchers from developing and transition countries. Since 2000, nearly 3,700 scholars representing over 100 countries have participated in this competition and nearly $2 million has been distributed in prizes and conference expenses to finalists and winners.
