The Trinity/Gourlay Prize is an annual sum of AU$10,000 awarded to academics and professionals in the field of Business Ethics.
ABEN is delighted to partner with Trinity College at the University of Melbourne to deliver an ongoing funding program to create teaching resources that support the practical application of Business Ethics and closely related fields.
Background
The Trinity/Gourlay Prize is made possible by way of endowment established in the College by John W. Gourlay and his family to promote ethical behaviour in business.
In 2004 John and Louise Gourlay provided a $2.5 million endowment to Trinity College to establish the Gourlay Visiting Professor of Ethics in Business initiative. The endowment was generated by a belief that the exercise of uncompromising integrity and morality is not only intrinsically desirable but also delivers improved and more certain business outcomes.
In recognition of the pioneering efforts of ABEN to integrate ethics into business education in Australia, Trinity College chose to collaborate with ABEN to fund research that supports education of business ethics.
Aim of Prize
The aim of the Trinity/Gourlay Prize is to support the development of an evidence-based teaching resource that is focused on ethical issues in business.
The prize money must be used to make an educational teaching resource (e.g. case study, interactive scenario simulations etc.).
The educational teaching resource will be presented at the subsequent ABEN conference and will be shared via ABEN’s website, subject to copyright restrictions of the publishers of such output and intellectual property rights of the authors.
The educational teaching resources created using the funding provided by this program will be shared for use in academic courses and professional development programs.
