Description

To better recognize those individuals whose truly outstanding leadership and contributions have had a significant impact on the technologies represented by the fields of interest of the IEEE VTS.

Prize

Plaque and Life Membership in the VTS. Reimbursement of travel expenses to accept the award, not to exceed $2,500.

Funding

Funded by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society.

Presentation

The Vehicular Technology Society awards ceremony takes place at the fall edition of the flagship conference, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference. This is the preferred venue for presenting this award, and the location and date will hence depend on the location and date of the conference. Alternatively, the award can be presented at any other Vehicular Technology Society events that include the spring edition of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference and the IEEE Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference.

Eligibility

The candidate’s contributions must relate to one of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society fields of interest. Nominees from any country are eligible. Previous award winners, currently elected Board members and appointed members of the award selection committee are ineligible.
