The Committee of Demographic Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences has established a prize as a tribute to Professor Jerzy Z. Holzer, who died in September 2001.

The Jerzy Z. Holzer Prize may be awarded for two kinds of achievements: outstanding papers, articles and books, written by young Polish scholars (up-most doctors of science) and outstanding scientific as well organisational achievements, which contribute remarkably to the progress in demography and population studies in Poland.

The Prize will be awarded once a year according to the following rules:

• A scientific paper, an article or a book may be nominated for the award either on the request of its author or another person;
• Only papers prepared in the year the prize is awarded or a year before may be nominated;
• Nominees to the award for scientific and organisational achievements may be of Polish or non-Polish citizenship. Nominations are made by the members of the Committee of Demographic Science or the members of the Jury.
