CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR ICDAR 2011 AWARDS

Nominations Due: June 15, 2011

 

 

The ICDAR Award Program is an established program designed to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of Document Analysis and Recognition in one or more of the following areas:

· Research

· Training of students

· Research/Industry interaction

· Service to the profession

 

Every two years, two awards categories are presented. Namely, the IAPR/ICDAR Young Investigator Award (less than 40 years old at the time the award is made), and the IAPR/ICDAR Outstanding Achievements Award. Each award will consist of a token gift and a suitably inscribed certificate. The recipient of the Outstanding Achievements award will be invited to give the opening keynote speech at the current ICDAR conference, introduced by the recipient from the previous conference.

 

Nominations are invited for the 2011 ICDAR Awards in both categories.

 

The nomination packet should include the following:

1. A nominating letter (1 page) including a brief citation to be included in the certificate.

2. A brief vitae (2 pages) of the nominee highlighting the accomplishments being recognized.

3. Supporting letters (1 page each) from 3 active researchers from at least 3 different countries.

 

A nomination is usually put forward by a researcher (preferably from a different Institution than the nominee) who is knowledgeable of the scientific achievements of the nominee, and who organizes letters of support.

 

The submission procedure is strictly confidential, and self nominations are not allowed.

 

Please send these, preferably as a single pdf file, to jean-marc.ogier@univ-lr.fr. The deadline for receipt of nominations is June 15th, 2011 but early submissions are strongly encouraged. For further information, please contact:
