To encourage and reward academic excellence, Helsingborgs Handelsförening announces excellence scholarships for REAL members who publish in high-quality scientific journals.

Members who co-author articles in selected top-ranked journals within retail and logistics are eligible to receive a scholarship. The scholarship is a personal reward and can be used freely by the recipient as recognition of their academic achievements. Each member can receive a maximum of two scholarships per year.

To acknowledge and celebrate these scientific contributions, Helsingborgs Handelsförening, in collaboration with REAL's management, annually invites scholarship recipients to a ceremony. During the ceremony, the scholarships are awarded, and the authors have the opportunity to briefly present their publications.

Through these excellence scholarships, Helsingborgs Handelsförening aims to strengthen research excellence and contribute to high-quality scientific publishing in retail and logistics.
