Eligibility

Any member of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society in good standing for at least two years prior to the current award cycle year is eligible for the annual IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Meritorious Service Award. Eligibility and Selection process shall comply with procedures and regulation established in IEEE and Society/Council governing documents, particularly with IEEE Policy 4.4 on Awards Limitations. Previous award winners are not eligible for substantially the same achievements (per IEEE Policies 4.4: An individual shall receive only one award for a given achievement, unless the significance merits a higher award, which may be given in the following year or thereafter.)

Nomination Details

A call for nominations for the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Awards is issued to the CASS membership. The nominator must be a member of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society in good standing for at least two years prior to the current award cycle year, and is responsible for submitting the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Meritorious Service Award Nomination by following the guidelines provided on the CASS website during the award nomination period. 

  • Five reference/endorsement letters. 

  • A completed nomination form submitted on the CASS website (with the five reference letters included).

  • Previous winners of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Meritorious Service Award are not eligible for the same award.

  • Self-nominations are not permitted.

  • The chair or members of any Awards committee or subcommittee administering an award cannot serve as nominators or references and shall be ineligible as candidates for this award.

  • In the case that a person is nominated for two or more Society awards, the appropriate award subcommittee(s) will confer with the CASS Awards committee chair and the nominator(s) to ensure that no one is awarded two or more Society awards in the same year.  

The CASS Awards Committee Chair and the CASS Operations Office will receive all nominations. Both will keep the nominations confidential. Nominations will not be accepted after the deadline.
