The Khyentse Foundation Award for Outstanding PhD Dissertation in Buddhist Studies is given annually to the author of a doctoral dissertation in the field of Buddhist Studies, defended during the previous two academic years. The dissertation must be based on original research in the relevant primary language or languages, and it should significantly advance the understanding of the subject or Buddhist scriptures studied.
The award, which is granted in alternate years to Asian and European dissertations, consists of US$8,000 to enable the recipient to further his or her research. This year, submissions from Europe will be considered.
Accredited institutions across Europe, including the UK, that offer PhD programs in Buddhist Studies or religious studies, are invited to nominate one dissertation that was completed during the academic year 2018–19 or 2019–20. Only dissertations written in English, French or German will be accepted. The nomination period is from October 1 through December 31, 2020. The winning dissertation will be announced by June 30, 2021.
All nominations must be accompanied by four separate documents (in English other than specified):
- A letter of recommendation by a member of the faculty and/or the chair of the department or institution
- A summary of the dissertation (not more than 2 pages)
- One representative chapter of the dissertation (can be in English, French or German)
- Full contact information for the department and for the author of the dissertation
These documents should be submitted as email attachments to: dissertations@khyentsefoundation.org.
