== Award Announcement and Call for Nominations ==

The IAOA [1] has established an award of honorary fellowships [2] in
order to recognise distinguished scholars in the field of applied ontology.

IAOA Fellows will have contributed significantly and in a sustained
manner to the field of applied ontology, for example by outstanding
scientific achievements, which often goes hand-in-hand with their strong
dedication and service to the community.

Their selection is subject to an annual process based on nominations
from the community.

For 2024, we solicit nominations by January 21, 2024 (Sunday, UTC-12).

Please send nominations to [3] in...@iaoa.org. Complete details on the
process are specified in the IAOA's Fellowship Procedure [4], an excerpt
of which describing the nomination requirements is copied below.

The 2024 selection committee consists of
- João Paulo A. Almeida, Federal University of Espirito Santo (UFES),
Vitoria, Brazil
- Nicola Guarino, Laboratory for Applied Ontology (LOA), Trento, Italy
- Oliver Kutz, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy
- Deborah McGuinness, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York, USA
- Laure Vieu, Toulouse Institute for Computer Science Research (IRIT),

We look forward to each nomination, with many thanks in advance for the
effort!


Best regards,

Oliver Kutz
President, IAOA

< excerpt from [4] >
To nominate a person, a nominator sends a message to the committee that
summarizes the main contributions of the nominee to applied ontology and
argues why the nominee should be selected. The nomination should be
seconded by at least one supporter. Among the nominator and the
supporter(s), at least one should be an IAOA member. Self nominations
are not allowed.

A nominee cannot be part of the selection committee. If that happens,
the nominee will be given the option to reject the nomination or
withdraw from the selection committee.
