It’s Time to Nominate a Colleague for One of IEEE’s Major Awards
Each year IEEE pays tribute to technical professionals whose outstanding contributions have made a lasting impact on technology and the engineering profession for humanity. The IEEE Awards program seeks nominations annually for IEEE's top awards-Medals, Recognitions, and Technical Field Awards-that are given on behalf of the IEEE Board of Directors.
The Medals and Recognitions are presented at the annual IEEE Honors Ceremony. The 2022 IEEE Vision, Innovation, and Challenges Summit (IEEE VIC Summit) and Honors Ceremony will be held on 6 May at the Marriott Marquis Marina hotel in San Diego. Planning for the 2022 event is currently underway, and more information will be announced in the coming months.
You don't have to be an IEEE member to receive, nominate, or endorse someone for an award.
Nominations for 2023 Medals and Recognitions will be open from 1 December to 15 June 2022. All nominations must be submitted through the separate online portals set up for Medals and Recognitions.
The IEEE Awards Board has an ongoing initiative to increase diversity among the selection committees and candidates, including their technical discipline, geography, and gender. You can help by nominating a colleague for one of the following awards.
