AAAS Award for International Scientific Cooperation

NOMINATION DEADLINE: 1 SEPTEMBER

The Award

Many scientists and engineers contribute valuable time away from the established career paths of research, teaching, and publishing to foster activities and develop programs of an international nature. AAAS, in collaboration with its affiliated organizations, seeks to recognize an individual or a limited number of individuals working together in the scientific or engineering community for making an outstanding contribution to furthering international cooperation in science and engineering.

The AAAS ISC award is presented at the AAAS Annual Meeting. A monetary prize of $5,000, a commemorative plaque, complimentary registration, and reimbursement for reasonable travel and hotel expenses to attend the AAAS Annual Meeting are given to the recipient.

Also, the recipient speaks at the AAAS Consortium of Affiliates for International Programs (CAIP) Annual Luncheon Meeting held in conjunction with the AAAS Annual Meeting. CAIP is a loose network of scientific societies and academies that have active international programs. CAIP is currently composed of over 100 AAAS affiliates and 150 foreign corresponding associations with interests in international science issues. CAIP members meet twice yearly, providing a forum for scientific societies to discuss their international activities and to exchange information on the status of international science.

Eligibility

The award is open to all regardless of nationality or citizenship. Nominees must be living at the time of their nomination. Any individual or small group in the scientific and engineering community that has contributed substantially to the understanding or development of science or engineering across national boundaries is eligible for this award.
