Pioneer Award in Nanotechnology

The IEEE Pioneer Award in Nanotechnology is given by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Nanotechnology Council for research in nanotechnology.[1]

Pioneer Award in Nanotechnology
Awarded forIndividuals who by virtue of initiating new areas of research, development or engineering have had a significant impact on the field of nanotechnology.
CountryUnited States
Presented byInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

The main considerations for judging include distinction in long-term technical achievements, leadership, innovation, breadth, and impact on nanotechnology and engineering,[2] recognizing individuals whose technical achievements go beyond the borders of a particular technical society. Nominees must be at least 10 years beyond their terminal degree.[1][3] One or two Pioneer Awards are given each year;[4] when two are awarded, there may be one for academics, and one for industry or government. The award consists of honorarium and a commemorative plaque.
