EBHA Best Paper Prize

Since 2009, EBHA has awarded a price for the best paper on
European business history, broadly understood, presented at its
annual congress. The prize consists of a certificate and a cash
prize of €250. The winner will be announced, and the prize
presented, at the annual congress’ gala dinner. Those papers
which want to be eligible must been uploaded by June 24, 2024.
The term “European business history” is defined broadly, but it
refers here to the topic of the paper, NOT to the author’s
nationality or place of residence.
