Handschin Prize for Musicology
Since 2007, the Swiss Music Research Society (SMG) has awarded the Handschin Prize for young musicologists every two years. In 2016, suitable candidates can apply directly to the society for the prize.
Doctoral candidates who completed their doctorate between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015 (including the defense) are eligible to apply.
Furthermore, they must be Swiss citizens or have completed their doctorate at a Swiss institution or have been employed at a Swiss musical institution with a workload of more than 25% for more than one year or make a relevant contribution to Swiss music history with their dissertation; citizenship and academic affiliation are irrelevant.
Applications will be accepted by the SMG office until March 20, 2016; electronic applications can be sent to the secretary Benedict Zemp (benedict.zemp@musik.unibe.ch) should be addressed. The prize is endowed with CHF 10,000.
