Who may make a nomination?
Anyone can make a nomination for one of the EAG Awards or for the EAG/GS honorary title of Geochemical Fellow. The members of the Award Committees may not nominate a candidate directly, but may actively solicit nominations from others. The EAG Councillors may not make a nomination.
What is the nomination process?
The Award Committees shall select a first and second choice for each award, or in the case of Geochemical Fellows up to ten choices, and present them, with adequate documentation (see how to make a nomination), to the Council well before the end of the calendar year preceding the next Goldschmidt Conference.
The Council shall then make its final choice between the nominations (or may vote not to make an award in a particular year). This choice shall be made by email voting prior to the abstract deadline of the annual Goldschmidt conference.
Current EAG Councillors and members of the Award Committees for the award in question are ineligible to receive an award. Past recipients of an award are ineligible to repeat as recipient. Members of the Award Committees and the EAG Council or GS Board may not vote on any nomination where there is a clear conflict of interest.
How to make a nomination?
To make a nomination, please send the following documents to the EAG Office at office@eag.eu.com:

What is the nomination deadline?
