Awards
Three prizes will be awarded at GOR 12 in March 2012: Poster Award, Best Practice Award and
Thesis Award.
Here you can find more information on the competition rules for the these awards.
Best Practice Award
Presentations in this field will be part of track 2, applied online market research. A strong focus on
applied market research based on a real world case study is mandatory. We prefer joint presentations by companies and a research agency.
The abstract should especially make clear what the results add to existing insights and knowledge.
All submissions in this category are considered for the Best Practice award. This is a prize for the best paper from market research.
