Frequently asked questions

If you haven't found the answer to your question, please contact the EAIE Office

Can anyone nominate for the EAIE awards?

Only EAIE members can nominate individuals or institutions for the awards. If your institution has achieved something remarkable or you want to nominate an inspirational leader, consider taking out membership. Once you're a member, there are no additional fees to submit a nomination.

EAIE members can nominate for all three awards if they choose.

Does my nominee need to be an EAIE member?

Nominees for the Vision and Leadership Award do not need to be an EAIE member. However, nominees for the Outstanding Contribution Award must be a current EAIE member. For the Excellence in Internationalisation Award, the nominator should be employed at the institution that they are nominating.

How should I prepare my nomination?

The nomination questions for each award can be found on the respective award page. Prepare your nomination by crafting detailed responses to each question, providing tangible examples and evidence to support your nomination. Ensure that you adhere to the maximum word count per question and submit your nomination before the deadline. Only EAIE members are eligible to submit nominations. If you have a strong nomination but are not a member, consider joining the EAIE or asking a colleague who is a member to submit the nomination on your behalf.

When can I submit my nominations?

Nominations for the 2024 EAIE Awards were open from 05–29 April. Nominations for the 2025 Awards will open early next year.

What happens after I submit a nomination?

After you've submitted a nomination, you'll receive a confirmation email. The EAIE Awards Panel reviews nominations and presents their selections to the EAIE Board for evaluation.
