The Journal of Environmental Investing (JEI) is inviting graduate students to write original manuscripts on issues related to environmental investing enabling them to win the Scholarship Program worth US$3,500. The program is targeted at graduate students seeking an advanced degree in any discipline related to environmental investing.
JEI is an inter-disciplinary, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes original research in all areas at the intersection of the environment and investing. The JEI presents research papers, commentaries, case studies, and reviews on manifold topics. It focuses on the critical issues of creating, deploying, financing, structuring, and managing successful market-based solutions to the environmental challenges of today. The JEI serves as a platform to bring together disciplines ranging from science to policy to finance, so that such challenges can be pragmatically addressed from academic and applied perspectives.
The JEI SP (Scholarship Program) has been established with the purpose of promoting, encouraging, and supporting interdisciplinary scholarship by active graduate students who are studying in relevant fields. The program aims at facilitating funding the effective and scalable solutions to the world’s most pressing environmental challenges arising from natural resource depletion, pollution, demographic changes, sustainability, and climate change.
Manuscript Submission
In the first stage, interested and qualified students may submit a curriculum vitae, an extended abstract of his/her manuscript, which refers to results and generally describes how the results will be discussed, and a letter from his/her college or university attesting to the applicant’s academic status.
If an abstract proves acceptable, the author will be invited to submit an original manuscript (no more than 5,000 words excluding notes, references, and supporting materials). Special consideration will be given to contributions from students in “emerging markets” as defined by the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank.
