Francis Stephen Award

Add article description

The Francis Stephen Award (German: Franz Stephan Preis; French: Prix Franz Stephan) is an international scientific honor given to researchers in the humanities and social sciences. It is awarded every two or three years by the Österreichische Gesellschaft zur Erforschung des 18. Jahrhunderts (Austrian Society of 18th-Century Studies).

History

Created in 2000, the Francis Stephen Award, endowed with €1500, pays homage to Francis I, the husband of the Empress Maria-Theresa, and her interest in Austrian science, arts and culture.[1] It honors works of excellence written in German, French or English about the 18th century or the Habsburg monarchy. The award ceremony takes place at the University of Vienna.[2]

Selection

The board of directors of the society decide on the value of the submitted works in a multi-stage assessment process with the help of specialist consultants who have been designated thematically. The consultants include academics and interdisciplinary specialists of the 18th century.[3]
