About the EAG Science Innovation Award
The EAG Science Innovation Award takes the form of a medal plus certificate to be bestowed upon scientists who have recently made a particularly important and innovative breakthrough in geochemistry. The geochemical research must be highly original and contribute in a significant fashion to our understanding of the natural behaviour of the Earth or planets. Such a contribution must be in the form of a widely recognized important piece of innovative scientific research published in a peer-reviewed journal.
The recipient must be between 35 and 55 years old.
The EAG Science Innovation Award is bestowed annually but the subject area differs from year to year, according to the following five-year cycle:
| 2008 2013 |
2009 2014 |
2010 2015 |
2011 2016 |
2012 2017 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
