The IBFD Frans Vanistendael Award for International Tax Law

Frans Vanistendael

IBFD wishes to promote outstanding scientific research output on international tax law. For this purpose, it decided to introduce the IBFD Frans Vanistendael Award for International Tax Law, named after its well-esteemed former Academic Chairman, Prof. Dr Frans Vanistendael. Professor Vanistendael is renowned for producing academic content at the highest of scientific standards  and has long been distinguished as one of the most far-sighted scholars in the field of international tax law.

 

I. Funding, focus and requirements

The proposed dotation is EUR 10,000, plus a flat amount for travel and accommodation expenses incurred attending the award ceremony.
 

II. Application and selection process

Eligible publications are all articles, books, book chapters and monographs on international tax law (including European Union tax law), in paper or digital format (with an ISBN or ISSN number), published in English between 1.01.2018 and 31.12.2018, which have provided an outstanding contribution to the development of international tax law. In case of doubt, the temporal criterion to ascertain eligibility is the date of the ISBN / ISSN.

Applications may be submitted by anyone (therefore not just by the author) by 31 December 2018 via email to ibfd.award@ibfd.org.

The recipient of the 2019 Frans Vanistendael Award for International Tax Law will be selected by an international jury whose composition will be announced shortly.

The jury decides on the winner of the award by a two-thirds majority. In case that a majority cannot be reached after two rounds of votes, the decision is taken by simple majority.

III. Award information

The conferral of the 5th IBFD Frans Vanistendael Award will take place in Amsterdam on 30 April 2019 during the closing ceremony of the Doctoral Meeting of Researchers in International Taxation (DocMIT) and Postdoctoral International Tax Forum (PITF).
