Renaming of Society Level Awards
In 2017, four of the Society’s Major Awards were renamed after a proposal by the Awards Board. The name changes we officially approved by all parties earlier in 2018 and will be put into effect for the 2018 awards cycle. The new award titles are noted below.
| Old Award Name | New Award Name |
|---|---|
| IEEE SPS Education Award | IEEE SPS Carl Friedrich Gauss Education Award |
| IEEE SPS Society Award | IEEE SPS Norbert Wiener Society Award |
| IEEE SPS Technical Achievement Award | IEEE SPS Claude Shannon-Harry Nyquist Technical Achievement Award |
| IEEE SPS Meritorious Service Award | IEEE SPS Leo L. Beranek Meritorious Service Award |
The Awards Board is currently reviewing the renaming of additional Society Awards including the paper awards. Further information will be brought forward at a late date when a decision has been made.
