Award Committees

The Committees

IAVCEI has two award/medal and one Advocating Committees.

  1. Award/medal committees
    • Consist of 5 to 9 persons (including a committee chair selected by the EC).
    • They must be members of IAVCEI with a record of distinguished research.
    • Each committee has gender, regional, and discipline balance.
    • If possible, at least one member of each committee should be a previous IAVCEI award/medal winner.
  2. Advocating Committee
    • Consist of the Editor-in-Chief of the Bulletin of Volcanology, a representative from each IAVCEI network, and no less than five other IAVCEI members. The committee must represent the full range of IAVCEI disciplines, regions and membership, and ensure a balance between gender and demographic composition. One from among this group will be appointed as chairperson by the President.
    • Responsible for encouraging and soliciting nominations, thereby promoting diversity of candidates. Nominations direct to Secretary General outside this process are always welcomed.
