CEEMAN Champion Awards

Calling faculty, management, and staff with institutional or individual CEEMAN membership

  

What are the CEEMAN Champion Awards?

Each year, starting in 2010, CEEMAN will recognize outstanding achievements of individuals associated with CEEMAN

Three awards are foreseen:

  • Award for outstanding achievement by an individual faculty member in teaching
  • Award for outstanding achievement by an individual faculty member in research
  • Award for outstanding achievement by a management or staff member in institutional management

What criteria will be used and how will awards be judged?

Criteria are deliberately left rather open.

The teaching award will be given for any of, or a combination of, the following:

  • a video of a class you have taught, together with a written brief explaining the teaching objectives, teaching strategy, desired timing, blackboard plan, expected take-home, and how it fits with previous and subsequent sessions
  • a course outline which has already been completely taught, together with a written brief explaining your overall teaching objectives, teaching plan, and how the various sessions contribute to the overall desired result
  • a description of an original innovative teaching process or methodology which you have already used together with a written brief explaining how it relates to other methodologies, what special benefits it offers, budgeted and actual costs, etc.

The judges will be looking at the original contribution you have made in any or all of the above with a special eye for how it is especially relevant to the needs of students and/or executives in your part of the world. The judges will also expect to hear how your achievement contributes to your institution's overall vision and strategy.

The research award will be given for any of, or a combination of, the following:

  • a finished and published research paper, article, or book
  • a finished research proposal explaining the issue you have selected and why, the hypotheses you expect to test, your research design and methodology, your actual implementation plan, and expected results and their publication

As with the teaching award, the judges will have special eye for how your research or research proposal is likely to contribute to practice and knowledge in your own local environment and how it contributes to your institution's vision and strategy.

The institutional management award will be given for any of, or a combination of, the following:

  • the building of a particular resource, for example, physical plant, library, IT support, faculty, staff, or a specific institutional competence
  • a program portfolio or research portfolio for the institution
  • fund raising
  • corporate and business relationships
  • the organization as whole (structure, progress, culture)
  • the finance function
  • marketing and marketing planning
  • operations, student relations
  • alumni activities

As for teaching and research, the judges will have an eye for how the managerial accomplishment you submit is especially relevant to your local environment. It should also explain how it contributes to the institution's overall vision and strategy.

How detailed and how long should my submission be?

Maximum five pages of main text with appendices and/ or video material attached.

What are the deadlines?

Submissions must be made by 15 July to allow the judges to reach their decision by the end of August. The awards will be announced at the CEEMAN Annual Conference in September.

Why should I enter?

At a time when many, if not most, CEEMAN member schools are not ranked by major ranking systems like the Financial Times, the CEEMAN Board has been looking for other ways to publicize widely the outstanding achievements of our member institutions and their faculty, management, and staff.

Award winners can expect considerable PR and press coverage of the awards ceremony in local and international media as well as direct benefits to their personal and institutional reputation.

Award winners will be invited free of charge to the CEEMAN Annual Conference in September, and hotel and travel expenses will be covered to the extent of €1,000 for each award. (If a submission involves multiple authors or a team, then a team leader/ representative should be selected to receive the award).
