Additional funding for scholarships may also be available.

We also consider all submissions for international publication in Scopus-ranked Emerging Market Case Studies (EMCS).

Though we are an international publisher, we must comply with all current economic sanctions within the United Kingdom. This may impact our ability to pay authors from restricted countries. Please know, however, that these submissions are still welcome and given all due consideration. If you are concerned about what this might mean for your submission should it go on to win the competition, please contact us.
