The Title
‘Advanced Materials Laureate’ is widely considered as one of the topmost honours that any researcher or scientist operating in the field of Advanced Materials can achieve. The title is a recognition of excellence in Advanced Materials Research and Innovation. All the deserving scientists who are selected as the recipient of this honour are required to deliver the Advanced Materials Laureate lecture in the Advanced Materials Lecture Series or in one of the assemblies of the Advanced Materials Congress. The lecture is recorded and published in the Open Access Video Journal of IAAM, Video Proceedings of Advanced Materials.
IAAM follows a rigorous peer-review and scientific screening process for selecting the Advanced Materials Laureate. The association confers this honour upon a highly accomplished researcher who has been a leader in an interdisciplinary scientific field. IAAM considers elite scientists and researchers who have been responsible for significant progresses in a field- but not limited to Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Biology, Medicine, Engineering, Atmosphere, Ocean Sciences, and Planetary Sciences. The individuals who operate as independent researchers are also eligible for this title if they have demonstrated excellent research.
In terms of eligibility, any researcher or scientist around the world who has contributed heavily to advances in Materials and made efforts to disseminate scientific education, promote materials research are considered for this honour. IAAM does not take into account any factors like religion, gender, age, nationality, background, ethnicity, etc. to shortlist the recipients for this honour.
With the help of scientific databases, IAAM reviews the research and findings contributed by different scientists to the area of Materials Science, Engineering, and Technology. On the basis of the results of the peer-review and scientific screening process, IAAM invites the deserving scientific contributors to file their nomination for the honour of ‘Advanced Materials Laureate’. IAAM’s Scientific Committee is the sole authority in matters of reviewing the nominations. This committee is responsible for shortlisting the researchers to submit their abstract for the Advanced Materials Laureate lecture to be delivered in either the Advanced Materials Lecture Series or online in the Advanced Materials Congress. The Advanced Materials Laureate lecture is delivered within three months of the submission of the abstract.
Administration
IAAM forms a search committee that conducts the initial peer-review process for ‘Advanced Materials Laureate’. In order to arrive at the final conclusion, the scientific committee considers the achievements and contributions of the individuals irrespective of other factors. In the last decade, IAAM has honoured world renowned materials scientists with the title of Advanced Materials Laureate.
