CeMEB Award for Contributions to Marine Evolution

We strongly encourage members to put forward deserving colleagues. Self nominations are equally welcome. By explicitly encouraging both, we aim to ensure that the opportunity to be considered does not depend on visibility, networks, or senior advocacy, and that all members have a chance to be recognized.

Eligibility

Nominees must be:

• A CeMEB member
• Current PhD students, or
• Within seven years of obtaining their PhD at the time of nomination

Career breaks may be taken into consideration where relevant.

Scope of the Award

The award is not limited to publication metrics or impact factors. While scientific publications may form part of the motivation, the primary focus is on the nominee’s overall contribution to marine evolution.

Contributions may include, but are not limited to:

• Innovative research projects or discoveries
• Development of novel methods, tools, or technologies
• Leadership or key roles in collaborative initiatives
• Organization of scientific events or community building efforts
• Outreach, popular science, and science communication
• Contributions that strengthen inclusivity, collaboration, or visibility in marine evolution

We welcome nominations that highlight meaningful impact, creativity, leadership, and engagement in advancing marine evolutionary research and its community.
