ACP call for award nominations 2026 (Deadline: May 3, 2026)
Miquel Bofill
Dear Constraints Community,
Every year, the Association for Constraint Programming recognizes individual community members who are making outstanding contributions to the field.
This year we have three different awards, for researchers of different seniority:
- The ‘Doctoral Research’ award: for researchers that obtained their PhD in the last 2 calendar years (i.e., official completion in 2024-01-01 to 2025-12-31).
- The ‘Early Career Research’ award: for rising stars that obtained their PhD 2-8 years ago (i.e., 2018-01-01 to 2023-12-31).
- The ‘Distinguished Service’ award: for established members who have made exceptional contributions to the CP community.
For each award, a nominator has to submit an official nomination for a colleague, and arrange for referees to submit separate reference letters, as described on the nomination forms below. The information required for the nomination and the rules for submission are specific to each award and it is the nominator's responsibility to submit the proper information and have referees submit reference letters.
We welcome nominations from you! Please take a moment to think of someone who would deserve such a wonderful recognition.
