Nominations are due 1 July 2013 for the 2014 IEEE Medals and Recognitions.

IEEE Medals are the highest recognition within the IEEE awards hierarchy, with the prestigious IEEE Medal of Honor as the premier award. IEEE Medals embrace broad and significant contributions within the technical fields of interest of IEEE.

The TAB Hall of Honor Selection Committee is accepting nominations for recipient(s) to be inducted into the “TAB Hall of Honor”.

The final 2013 recipient(s) will be determined by the IEEE Technical Activities Board at the November 2013 meeting. The deadline is 3 May 2013.

The "TAB Hall of Honor" has been established to honor those persons, living or deceased, who have made one or more major contribution(s) to IEEE Technical Activities. Contributions include the creation, development, or advancement of the technical objectives of the IEEE.

The IEEE SPS Executive Committee (ExCom) decided to tackle this award-and-recognition issue on two fronts: the nomination process and the selection process. It is believed that only through a right and just process can we bring about the prestige and respect of an award!
