Faoundation for Scientific Symbiosis 2000-
Science and Practice of Ecology & Society Award
Do you have a nomination form that I need to fill in?
There is no official form. A convincing letter of 2 or 3 pages in which the nominator describes how the nominated practitioners bring transdisciplinary science into practice is required.
Can I nominate myself?
No, you can only nominate others.
I have some new research ideas. Does your program fund this?
No, this award is not for research proposals, but recognizes practitioners on their past accomplishments.
I would like to nominate a colleague for his/her important scientific contributions. Does your award program consider this?
No, this award is to recognize practitioners. Academics can be nominated, but for their activities as a practitioner, not their scientific contributions.
What do I submit to nominate somebody?
Please write and submit an essay in which you describe the accomplishments of the nominated person or organization. You may look at essays written about past winners of the award for examples. The winning essays are typically drafts of what will become the article for Ecology and Society.
