The 2010 "Klasse" Award
The editors of the monthly magazine Klasse (Magazine for Education in Flanders) agrees with the Flemish Dissertation Award that exceptional dissertations deserve more attention. The magazine offers the winner a beautiful prize, worth 500 euros. The winning dissertation will also receive editorial attention in the magazine.
Dissertations discussing a subject related to education have the chance to receive double the amount of attention. This could be dissertations linked to pedagogics, applied social studies or didactics. The subject can of course be broader, e.g. dissertations in the field of sociology, social sciences or psychology.
The deadline for entering the dissertations is 11 October. The regulations and registration form can be found on the website of the Flemish Dissertation Award.
