Remark: Questions of eligibility should be directed to the award committee chair in advance of nomination.

Award Criterion
The annual SIGEnergy Achievement Award recognizes a researcher who has made significant and lasting technical contributions to the field of energy systems and informatics. Selection is based on the lasting impact of the nominee’s work in creating promising new ideas, paradigms, and tools, related to energy systems and informatics. Depth, impact, and novelty of the researcher’s contributions will be key criteria upon which the SIGEnergy Achievement Award Committee evaluates the nominations. We also expect the nominees to comply with the ACM Code of Ethics (https://www.acm.org/code-of-ethics)

 

Nomination Process
The nominator should solicit recommendations from colleagues in the field who are most familiar with the nominee’s achievements. An individual may nominate, or endorse, multiple nominees; self-nominations are not allowed. Unsuccessful nominations will not be retained but can be resubmitted. Per ACM policy, no award committee member may serve as a nominator or endorser.
