AWARDS

Harold Jan Schoemaker Award

IAHR members are invited to submit candidates for nomination for the Harold Jan Schoemaker Award. This Award is made at the IAHR Biennial Congress to the author(s) of the paper judged the most outstanding paper published in the IAHR Journal of Hydraulic Research in the two years preceeding the Congress. A proposal for nomination shall be completed with a clear argumentation (maximum one page) regarding its outstanding quality and why the paper is of such a specific quality that it outweighs the other papers of the considered series.

Founding statement

The Schoemaker Award was established by the IAHR Council in 1980 to recognise the efforts made by Professor Schoemaker, Secretary (1960-1979), in guiding the Journal of Hydraulic Research in its formative years. The Award is made biennially by the IAHR to the author(s) of the paper judged the most outstanding paper published in the IAHR Journal.

Rules for the administration of the Award

  • The Harold Jan Schoemaker Award (hereinafter referred to as the Award) will be made at each biennial IAHR Congress, to the author(s) of the paper judged the most outstanding and published in the IAHR Journal during the preceding two-year period.
  • The awardee will be selected by the IAHR Council from a list of not more than three ranked nominees submitted to the Council by a Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Award Committee) composed of the Technical Division Chairmen and chaired by a Council member. The Award Committee will actively seek nominations of awardees from the IAHR membership (also non-members whose employers are corporate members will be considered) and will publish at least annually an advertisement calling for nominations. The advertisement will include a brief description of the supporting material which is to accompany nominations.
  • The awardee will be selected by the Council by mail ballot. Balloting shall close eight weeks after the Executive Director mails the ballots. The awardee(s) shall be notified immediately by the Executive Director.
  • An award need not be made during any biennium in which the Council considers none of the nominees to be of sufficient high quality.
  • The award will consist of a bronze medal and a certificate.

Initial contact regarding nominations for the Award should be made with:
IAHR Secretariat
