The Academic Excellence Award
A school’s reputation is closely linked to that of its academic staff. The EM Normandie Foundation sets up a programme to encourage teacher-researchers through the annual organisation of the Academic Excellence Award. The evaluation criteria are linked to the quality of their pedagogy and the recognition of their research work in the reference publications. These criteria are taken into account by the certification agencies of business schools.
Objective: to encourage teacher-researchers and to promote research leading to innovative and relevant publications and/or curricula.
Principle: the EM Normandie Foundation’s Academic Excellence Award is open to all teacher-researchers in charge on 1 January and is divided into two parts:
The Research Award recognizes research related to a managerial issue that has led to the acceptance or publication of one or more scientific articles in the previous two years, and whose impact on the practitioner and/or student is concrete and measurable (invitations to round tables, work-shops, collective books, press stands, articles in professional journals, interviews, video shooting, writing an educational case study derived from the research results and used in classrooms, citations and international distribution).
The Pedagogical Innovation Award recognizes a pedagogical initiative involving either a pedagogical practice, an educational resource or an evaluation of learning. This initiative, proposed within a teaching unit, a program or for a particular audience, is synonymous with change and is innovative in nature. It has a recognized impact on student engagement, perseverance and success. This pedagogical act may concern a course (unit), a programme or a group
