Our annual PhD award is a prestigious recognition of cutting-edge research that highlights the merit of the individual PhD student’s academic focus. The award identifies and celebrates research at the intersection of business and development that can have a ‘real world’ impact, particularly in developing countries.
This call is open to all PhD students at London Business School whose research is aligned to the Institute’s objectives. We will award £15,000 for academic excellence that can be a force for good. Learn more about the joint winners of our 2020 PhD Award – Iris Steenkamp, Nazlı Sönmez and Alp Süngü.
