The European Association of Tax Law Professors and The European Commission are proud to confer the EUROPEAN ACADEMIC TAX THESIS AWARD (EATTA). The prize consists of an invitation by the European Commission to Brussels, where the author shall present the elected thesis to interested EU officials (the Commission reserves the right to invite persons as well). Eligible are academic theses on issues of comparative, European and/or International Tax Law. Any author of such thesis may apply. The full text of the thesis should be attached to the application; in addition, a summary of it, which would allow assessment of the main ideas of the thesis, should be submitted in English. A jury will select up to five theses defended within the respective calendar year. The jury will consist of members of the Academic Committee. The actual composition of the jury will be determined on a case-by-case basis. The deadline for application for the Award is 31 January of the year following that of the year when it has been defended.
