| about Philip Law scholarships |
Each year, up to ten Philip Law scholarships are available to research students at ecch member institutions to develop teaching cases based on original field research carried out during their studies. The scholarships aim to stimulate new case authors and strengthen the role of original research in student management learning. Each scholarship is worth EUR1,525 and the student attends an ecch case writing workshop at no charge. The scholarships will be of interest to current or recent research students.

Objectives
Philip Law scholarships aim to:
- Promote the development of useful learning material from original field research by students
- Strengthen the links between research and the needs of student learning in the study of management
- Stimulate case writing by new authors.
Who is eligible?
- The author must be affiliated to an institution, which is a member of ecch, as a bona fide student (most likely graduate/postgraduate) registered with that institution.
- The author must be prepared to attend a workshop on case writing to be organised by ecch. This will be free of charge to the author.
- The proposed case should be additional to any formal research requirement of the student's institution.
Scholarship requirements
- Cases must be written explicitly for the teaching of aspects of management, must be based on fieldwork supplemented by secondary sources as appropriate, and must be written in English. They may address any business/management theme, but the author should indicate the type and level of course for which the case would be appropriate (e.g. Final year undergraduate marketing; MBA technology management etc.).
- All applications for scholarships must be endorsed by both a member of faculty nominated by the student (normally this would be the student's supervisor) and the ecch representative of the author's institution.
- Student authors will be expected to develop their cases under the supervision of an appropriate member of faculty of the affiliated member organisation, and the supervisor's name will normally appear on the finished case either as joint author or in some other form of acknowledgement (e.g. 'under the supervision of .........', 'with the assistance of .........').
- A finished case (or series of shorter cases) should be between 5,000 and 10,000 words of narrative, exclusive of exhibits.
- All cases submitted must be accompanied by a comprehensive teaching note. It is anticipated that the teaching note will be developed jointly with a member of teaching staff who has formally indicated a willingness to test the case in a classroom teaching environment. This will normally be the same faculty member who has supported the writing of the case study.
- Finished cases and teaching notes will be expected to bear the name and logo of the author's institution on the front page.
- Copyright ownership of any case written with the support of a Philip Law scholarship must be clearly established prior to the commencement of the case writing project. In the absence of any clear copyright agreement between author, supervisor, and institution, copyright will be owned by ecch.
- All cases submitted in their final form will be subject to a non-rescindable, non-exclusive agreement with ecch for listing and distribution through the ecch mechanism, and should be accompanied by a formal statement of 'release' by the organisation(s) that forms the subject of the case.
- Where a scholarship-funded case writing project is not completed, e.g. if, after the first draft has been produced, the revised draft is aborted and/or is not to be tested in class, ecch reserves the right under such conditions to: withhold the second part of the scholarship and invite a third party to complete the process, thereby attracting joint authorship and the balance of the scholarship. Should this situation arise, the supervising faculty member would have "first refusal" on the offer of completing the process, but if he/she declines, ecch would be free to approach other experienced case writers to complete the case. In this event, copyright of the finished work would be owned by ecch.
- In the event of any misunderstanding or dispute arising, the rules and conditions attached to the award of a scholarship shall be interpreted by the ecch Executive Committee. The decision of the Committee shall be final.
