2005 COMPETITION ANNOUNCEMENT
"Novel Approaches of Integrative Science for the Future"
Ecology and Society invites you to participate in a manuscript
competition that exploits novel ways of performing integrative science
and policy research. The annual 'Ralf Yorque Memorial Prize' of 5,000
Euro will be awarded to the most novel paper that integrates different
streams of science to assess fundamental questions in the ecological,
political, and social foundations for sustainable social-ecological
systems.
Transdisciplinary science is often promoted in words and not in
practice. Young scholars derive many incentives to specialize in certain
disciplines, and experience few incentives to be creative in combining
insights from various scientific disciplines and performing science in
nontraditional ways. We ask our readers to be part of an effort to
stimulate novelty and creativity of new ways of performing science.
The contributions of the winner and others that pass the normal
peer-review process will be published in E&S. We want to see your novel
ideas of scientific endeavors for the future. Indicate if the paper
submitted is intended for the Ralf Yorque Memorial Competition and state
explicitly in a cover letter why you think the manuscript is eligible
for the competition (e.g. what is the novel transdisciplinary
contribution).
Manuscript submissions, while exploring new ways of science should
include a balance of novelty and content. Each submission will be
peer-reviewed for content and assessed by a panel of judges for novelty.
Full details for submission to this competition can be found at

deadline for submissions is JUNE 30, 2005.
