CALL FOR EMC SOCIETY AWARDS NOMINATIONS

DEADLINE: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2026

Our Society is successful because of the many volunteers who contribute their time and energy for the good of the EMC Society and their fellow EMC colleagues. The IEEE EMC Society sponsors a number of peer-nominated awards to recognize those people who have made significant contributions to the Society and/or the EMC profession. These awards are presented at the awards luncheon held during the annual Symposium. This year, the awards will be presented on Thursday, August 6, 2026 during the 2026 IEEE International Symposium on EMC+SIPI scheduled from August 3 to August 7 in Dallas, Texas.

We are soliciting awards nominations from you, your fellow members, and nonmembers. Keep in mind that while nonmembers can nominate a deserving colleague for an award, award recipients must be a member of the EMC Society (an exception is the Certificate of Recognition which is awarded to nonmembers, as shown below). Please review the various recognition categories listed below. When you find a category that fits someone you know and feel deserves recognition for their efforts, please consider nominating them for that award. Details of the nomination and selection procedures may vary for different awards so be sure to review the “Summary of EMC Society Awards” first, before making a nomination. You can find detailed Awards Descriptions and Nomination Forms, as well as a list of past recipients of the major awards on the EMCS Website.

You can download the nomination form, fill it out, and send it to Stephanie Zajac, Chair of the Awards Committee, at emcs-awards@ieee.org. Nominations are due February 13, 2026. The EMC Society Board of Governors and Officers at Large review the nominations with award recipients selected approximately three months prior to the annual symposium. You will receive an email acknowledging receipt of the nomination materials (if you do not receive such an email within a few days of submitting a nomination, please send an inquiry for confirmation to the Awards Committee emcs-awards@ieee.org).

Although not indicated in the instructions, for the most prestigious awards, the submission of 2-4 endorsement letters to support the nomination is highly encouraged.
