As part of the organization's overall mission to advance signal and image processing as a science and a profession, EURASIP's Board of Directors (BoD) annually evaluates the contributions of candidates for various awards that span a spectrum of professional and technological accomplishments.

EURASIP Members are invited to nominate candidates for EURASIP Society Awards, that fall into the following categories:

Meritorious Service Award
Group Technical Achievement Award
Technical Achievement Award
Athanasios Papoulis Award

For additional information, please visit the EURASIP website at http://www.eurasip.org/, where details on the nomination process are reported and downloadable copies of the nomination forms can be found. A listing of previous award recipients with their award citations is also available on the EURASIP Awards webpage.

Nominations should be submitted to the EURASIP Awards chair, Prof. Fulvio Gini, by e-mail (f.gini@ing.unipi.it). The deadline for Society Awards is December 31st, 2012.

We encourage you to share this information with your colleagues and peers.
