The IEEE Council on Superconductivity Award for Continuing and Significant Contributions in the Field of Applied Superconductivity
Basis of Judging
The Award, which can be presented during the Applied Superconductivity Conference or an alternative applied superconductivity conference associated with the IEEE Council on Superconductivity, will recognize individuals for contributions in the field of applied superconductivity over a period of time (nominally more than twenty years) based on novel and innovative concepts proposed by the individual, the authorship or co-authorship of a number of publications of major significance to the field of applied superconductivity and the presentation of a number of invited and plenary talks at major national and international conferences and meetings in applied superconductivity, including the Applied Superconductivity Conference.
Prize
Awardees will receive, during a ceremony at an applied superconductivity conference, a plaque, an inscribed niobium medallion and a cash award of at least U.S. $5,000.
