SSN is awarding a variety of prizes to honour outstanding achievements in surveillance studies in different ways:
We give an outstanding achievement award to individuals that have made major contributions to the field; on a more regular basis SSN awards a book prize as well as paper prize (named: Early Career Researcher award) from papers published in Surveillance & Society.
This is an overview of all those honoured and awarded with one of the prizes.
