The Society of Crystallographers in
Australia and New Zealand (SCANZ) calls for nominations for
two medals – an open award and a mid-career award – to be
presented by the Society at the Crystal33 meeting in April
2020 (https://www.crystal33.org/).
The first award of these medals took place at
the combined AsCA12/Crystal28 meeting in Adelaide in 2013.
The guidelines for the two medals follow.
The Lawrence Bragg Medal
For distinguished
contributions to science involving X-ray, neutron or
electron diffraction and/or imaging.
1. The Medal shall be awarded to a
financial member of the Society who, in the opinion of
the SCANZ executive or duly appointed representatives, has
contributed most towards the development of a branch of
science associated with X-ray, neutron or electron diffraction
and/or imaging.
2. The award is based on consideration
of the candidate's published scientific work, together
with other evidence of his or her standing in the
international community. A major portion of the relevant
scientific work must have been carried out in Australia
and/or New Zealand while the candidate was a member of the
Society.
3. The medal shall be awarded to
coincide with SCANZ conferences, and the successful candidate
will be required to deliver a lecture at the SCANZ conference
at which the award is made.
4. The award will consist of a
medallion, free registration at the SCANZ conference at which
they will receive the award, a return economy airfare from the
awardee's home city and $750 towards accommodation expenses
(if the awardee is not a resident of the city in which the
meeting is held). This will be provided by SCANZ
in conjunction with the conference organisers.
5. The nominee must have been a member
of SCANZ for the previous 10 years.
6. Nominations
(including self-nominations) should contain the following
information: a brief curriculum vitae; a list of publications;
reprints of no more than 10 of the most significant of
these publications; and any supporting information that could
be helpful to the Selection Committee. Nominees should also
arrange for two independent testimonials to be forwarded to
the SCANZ Secretary.
7. Nominations should be forwarded
electronically to the SCANZ Secretary (Jack Clegg; secr...@scanz.org) by 31 December, 2019.
The Sandy Mathieson Medal
For
distinguished contributions to science involving X-ray,
neutron or electron diffraction and/or imaging by a
researcher under 40 years of age.
1. The Medal shall be awarded to a
financial member of the Society who, in the opinion of
the SCANZ executive or duly appointed representatives, has
contributed most towards the development of a branch of
science associated with X-ray, neutron or electron diffraction
and/or imaging. This person shall be under the age of 40 at
the time of close of applications, except in the case of
significant interruptions to their research careers.
2. The award is based on consideration
of the candidate's published scientific work, together
with other evidence of his or her standing in the
international community. A major portion of the relevant
scientific work must have been carried out while the
candidate was a member of the Society. Due consideration will
be given to nominees with interrupted careers.
3. The medal shall be awarded to
coincide with SCANZ conferences, and the successful candidate
will be required to deliver a lecture at the SCANZ conference
at which the award is made.

of SCANZ for the previous 5 years.
