The Bernard S. Finn IEEE History Prize (formerly the IEEE Life Members' Prize in Electrical History) - deadline: December 15, 2015.
The
Bernard S. Finn IEEE History Prize is supported by the IEEE Life Members'
Fund and administered by the Society for the History of Technology.
The
prize is awarded annually to the best paper in the history of electrotechnology—power,
electronics, telecommunications, and computer science—published during the
preceding year.
Any
article published in a learned periodical is eligible if it treats the art or
engineering aspects of electrotechnology and its practitioners.
The article
must be written in English, although the journal or periodical in which it
appears may be a foreign language publication.
The
prize consists of a cash award of $1,000 and a certificate.
In
addition, IEEE will provide a travel subsidy ($750 domestic, $1,000
international) to allow the winner to attend SHOT's annual meeting, and SHOT
will waive the basic registration and awards-banquet fees for the winner.
To
nominate an article, please send a copy of the paper to each member of
the prize committee (see the three addresses listed below)
The
deadline for 2016 nominations is December 15, 2015.
