Four papers nominated for the ESOMAR Best Paper of the Year Award 2024
Every ESOMAR event has an expert committee that reviews and selects the best content submitted by the international data, research and insights community.
All speakers are then invited to document their work in a written paper and the committee of each event rewards one paper with the Best Event Paper Award.
As well as winning that award, each winning paper (from September - August) is then shortlisted for the highly-coveted ESOMAR Best Paper of the Year Award and reviewed by an independent jury.
