Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce the 2017 contest for the international space weather medals. The new medal recipients will be announced in a medal ceremony at the European Space Weather Week, the 27th of November, 2017.

All three prizes (Chizhevsky, Nicolet, Birkeland) are prestigious recognitions of recipients’ major contributions in the field of space weather. Medal recipient’s work must have been documented in peer review journals or book chapters, or must be a technological contribution that has led to a fully implemented new space weather capability. Medal
recipient’s work must be relevant to space weather and/or space climate. The work must also be internationally recognized.

Please find the necessary information at the URL:

We encourage all of you to think about potential nominees.

With Kind Regards,

Mauro Messerotti, on behalf of the SW Medal Committee
