The International Joseph A. Schumpeter Society (ISS) will organize the 2026 Schumpeter Prize Competition, to be held in conjunction with the 21st International Schumpeter Society Conference in Strasbourg, France, hosted by BETA (Bureau d’Économie Théorique et Appliquée).
The Schumpeter Prize is awarded biennially in recognition of a recent and outstanding scholarly contribution related to the work and legacy of Joseph A. Schumpeter. For 2026, the prize will recognize contributions in two categories:
- Books (monographs)
- Articles published in recognized scientific journals
Eligible works must have been first published (including online publication) or remain unpublished after June 1, 2024.
Submissions may be of any length or format.
All entries will be evaluated by a Prize Committee chaired by Prof. Maryann Feldman, President-Elect of the ISS.
The winner(s) will be announced, and the award conferred, during the 21st ISS Conference in Strasbourg.
Submissions should preferably be sent electronically to the administrative office of the ISS.

Dear All,
My name is Gabriel Franceschini and I am a forth year PhD candidate in Management at the University of Bologna.
I am preparing the submission for ISS2026 and I would like to apply both to the conference and to the PhD workshop.
I plan to submit two papers, both already in full draft form and aligned with the conference themes.
Could you please confirm whether the PhD workshop requires an extended abstract of up to 1,000 words, while the conference submission can be a full paper, and whether any page limit applies to the latter?
I would also appreciate guidance on how to select the appropriate submission category in the system (for example, poster versus paper/article) when submitting two different papers.
Finally, could you confirm whether a supervisor recommendation letter is required for participation in the PhD workshop? If yes, can you please indicate me the submission form?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Gabriel Franceschini
