We would like to request nominations for the
2021 SERVSIG Emerging Service Scholar Award
granted by the University of Porto
SERVSIG and the University of Porto are proud to present the Emerging Service Scholar Award. This award recognizes contributions to advancing the study of service research, and will be given annually to honor the contributions of a researcher in the earlier stages of his or her academic career. The SERVSIG Emerging Service Scholar Award was launched in 2015 and will be presented at the Frontiers in Service Conference. The award includes a cash prize of $1000 (as sponsored by the University of Porto), plaque and spotlight features on the SERVSIG website & newsletter and other publications.
Eligibility
The nominees for the Emerging Service Scholar Award should have completed their doctoral degree no later than 10 years prior to the year of the award. This means, for the nominations for this award in 2022, the eligibility cut off year of degree completion is 2012.
Other eligibility issues:
• The nominees need to show continuous research activity in the service discipline.
• Candidates for a SERVSIG Award do not have to be a member of SERVSIG or the AMA to be eligible for the award.
• Candidates may be from anywhere in the world. Since its inception, SERVSIG has sought to be globally oriented and globally active.

• No more than three publications representative of the nominee’s contributions.
• All material needs to be submitted electronically to the selection committee chair.
Selection Committee
Each year, SERVSIG appoints a panel of scholars to serve as the selection committee. The panel solicits nominations from the service community, and selects the recipient of the award. Criteria to be used to determine contribution include innovation, methodological rigor, and both current impact and future potential to substantially advance service research.
SERVSIG would like to thank the following members for their willingness to serve on this year’s committee:
Lia Patricio (Chair) – Portugal
Lena Steinhoff (last year’s winner) – Germany
