Guidelines for Nominations
The deadline for all nominations is December 31st of the year before an IAGA Scientific Assembly or an IUGG General Assembly.
IAGA Early Career Award
Local organizers of topical meetings sponsored by IAGA are invited to nominate one early-career scientist for the award. It is highly recommended that the Local Organising Committee establishes a small independent committee of 3-5 recognized scientists attending the meeting (considering gender balance, geographical distribution and possible conflict of interest), who will evaluate the presentations and overall performance of eligible participants. Oral and poster presentations should be treated equally. Presentations by eligible participants should be clearly marked, e.g. as "Student Presentation". After the meeting, the local organizers submit their nomination to the IAGA Secretary General along with the report from the meeting.
The nomination should consist of
- a nomination letter giving the topic of research presented by the nominee and explaining why the nominee deserves this recognition (maximum 1 page)
