The call for nominations is now open for the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS) Early Career Scientist Award 2025.

The IACS Early Career Scientist (ECS) Prize is a cash prize of €1000 awarded every two years to two early career scientists who have published the best scientific papers on a cryospheric subject as assessed by an independent evaluation committee. The objective of the prize is to recognize excellence in cryospheric science by honouring and promoting two ECS scientists, and to draw attention to the work of IACS. Awardees must be IACS members by the time the award is received.

The 2024 awardees will be recognized at the BACO25 Joint Assembly in Busan, South Korea in July 2025.

Guidelines and the nomination form can be found on the IACS homepage.

Nomination Deadline: 13 January 2025
