The lifetime award logo
This Medal is awarded to an individual, from anywhere in the world, for sustained and significant contributions in the form of research, teaching, and service to the community, in any area germane to the ICCES series of conferences. The sum total of contributions over a career spanning many years is taken into account. The minimum age of the recipient is expected to be 60 years, and may be given on the occasion of the celebration of any birth anniversary of the individual after the age of 60, at an ICCES conference. The conferral of this award is considered as the scientific accolade expressed on behalf of the ICCES community, for the recipient’s seminal role in the development of subject matter relevant to ICCES.
