Awards Nomination | IAAM

IAAM invites nominations for all the awards and honours that it confers upon deserving individuals and organizations. The interested parties can nominate themselves, institutions, and their fellow members of the community as well. For the eligibility criteria and the selection procedure, the user is requested to visit the dedicated pages of each award.

International Association of Advanced Materials has continually striven to recognize the immense amount of hard work and dedication that goes into conducting research in an interdisciplinary field like Materials Science, Engineering, and Technology. To express its regard for the profound accomplishments of government agencies, policy makers, R&D organizations, scientific researchers, and students, IAAM organizes an award assembly from time to time. During the awards assembly, the association confers upon the deserving delegates some of the highest honours, awards, and accolades of the industry. It is the hope of IAAM that by regularly honouring the researchers and scientists with prestigious honours like Advanced Materials Laureate, Researcher of the Year, Advanced Materials Award, IAAM Medal, IAAM Young Scientist Award, and many more, it can express its respect to the contributions of the researchers and also inspire the next generation.


Rules and Requirements

The nomination for all the IAAM awards is open to government agencies, policy makers, R&D organizations, scientific researchers/ professionals, and students who have made exceptional breakthroughs in a field of materials science, engineering, and technology. The consideration of a nomination by the awards committee of IAAM is not influenced or affected by the field of materials or the kind of approach used to reach the results or the breakthrough ideas. However, the consideration is impacted by the importance and the value of the breakthrough result, especially for the materials community and the general public.

Eligibility For Nominators
