한국어교육바다 공지사항

The Association for Korean Studies in Europe (AKSE) plans to award the AKSE Book Prize for Korean Studies in Europe at the 32nd AKSE conference in Edinburgh. The prize carries a € 2000 cash award. In 2025, the prize will be awarded for Korean Studies publications in any European language including English.

We are calling for nominations of scholarly monographs centred on Korea, academic, annotated translations of original Korean sources (contemporary literary translations are not included), edited volumes and university-level textbooks which have been published during the last five years (i.e. since 2020) and are apt to raise interest in the academic study of Korea beyond the confines of Korean Studies proper. Dissertations, exhibition catalogues, poetry, fiction, travel books, memoirs, autobiographies etc. are not eligible.

Nominated authors must be Korean Studies scholars affiliated with a European institution (excluding visiting scholars) or independent scholars based in Europe. The nominated authors do not need not be AKSE members. Nominators must be AKSE members and have to hold (or be retired from) an academic position or be otherwise an established member of the academic community. Self-nominations are possible.

Nominations including a pdf of the original publication, an English language abstract of at least 200 words (if the publication is not in English and does not carry an English abstract of this minimum length), and a completed nomination form (attached below and to be found separately on the AKSE website www.koreanstudies.eu), must reach the AKSE president by December 31, 2024, to be considered for the 2025 award.

Please send all documents to both of the following e-mail addresses: prize@koreanstudies.eu ;
