EURASIP Awards: 1st Call Society Award Nominations

Each year, EURASIP recognizes technical and professional achievements through its celebrated EURASIP Awards Program. As part of the organization’s overall mission to advance signal processing as a science and a profession, EURASIP’s Board of Directors annually evaluates the contributions of candidates for various awards that span a spectrum of professional and technological accomplishments.

EURASIP Members are invited to nominate candidates for EURASIP Society Awards that fall into the following categories:

  • Meritorious Service Award
  • Group Technical Achievement Award
  • Technical Achievement Award
  • Athanasios Papoulis Award.
For additional information on the scope and criteria for these awards, please visit the EURASIP website at www.eurasip.org. The website also gives details of the nomination process and copies of the nomination forms can be downloaded. A listing of previous award recipients with their award citations is also available on the EURASIP Awards webpage.

Please submit nominations to the EURASIP Awards Coordinator, Kostas Berberidis, by e-mail (berberid@ceid.upatras.gr). The deadline for nominations is December 31, 2017.

We encourage you to share this information with your colleagues and peers.

EURASIP Awards: 2nd Call Fellow Nominations

EURASIP Fellow nominations are invited with a deadline of October 31, 2017.

The EURASIP fellowship programme recognizes outstanding achievements of its members and volunteers. Each year, a select group of up to four signal processing researchers are elevated to EURASIP Fellow, the Association's most prestigious honour. Fellowships are awarded with a citation of the form “for contributions to …”, i.e. referring to a major long-term contribution to a technical field.

How to Submit Nominations:
Any EURASIP member can nominate a colleague to be elevated to Fellow grade. Nominations should be submitted to the EURASIP Awards Chair by e-mail: berberid@ceid.upatras.gr.
The nomination form can be downloaded from the EURASIP website at http://www.eurasip.org/fellows/Fellowship-Nomination-Form_Final.doc

The deadline is October 31st of every year.

The Board of Directors encourages you to share this information with your colleagues.
