    Submission Guidance

    CONTEXT

    The Panmure House Prize Panel is calling for submissions for the Panmure House Prize. Panmure House is the final remaining home of Adam Smith and is now a 21st century centre for social and economic debate and research, managed under the stewardship of Edinburgh Business School and Heriot-Watt University in the UK. Founded in 1821 with a rich heritage of pioneering research informed by the global needs of business and industry, today, Heriot-Watt University is known for its focus on innovation, especially in the area of the zero-carbon economy. FCLTGlobal, a US-based non-profit with the mission of rebalancing capital markets to support a long-term, sustainable economy, is the Research Partner for the Prize. Together, the Panmure House Prize Panel, Heriot-Watt University, and FCLTGlobal will select appropriate recipients for the Prize, which has been generously funded by Baillie Gifford.  

    The Panmure House Prize Panel awards $75,000 annually to one recipient on the topic of long-term thinking in relation to innovation, finance, and social and economic change. The recipient of the 2024 Prize will be expected to present their work to a convening of the Panel and other relevant parties at Panmure House in Edinburgh in 2025. This convening will provide an opportunity for coverage of the research in national and international media outlets. 

    The Panmure House Prize Patron is Professor Sir Angus Deaton, FBA, PhD, Nobel Prize winner, Senior Scholar and the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professor of Economics and International Affairs Emeritus at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. James Anderson, the Panmure House Prize Chair, is one of the UK’s most well respected and well-known fund management industry professionals. You can read more about our esteemed Judging Panel on the Panmure House webpage.
