While we have already received a good number of nominations for the IEA Kingfar and Tsinghua awards, we have also received requests for an extension on the submission deadline. Following discussion with the IEA officers, exceptionally, this year, all IEA Member societies are allowed until 7 July to submit nominations for the IEA Kingfar and Tsinghua Awards. We look forward to more submissions in the coming days!
- The IEA/Kingfar Award is given annually to early career professionals to promote and reward high-quality original research and applications on new and emerging HFE issues or issues specifically related to industrially developing countries, as well as to promote a career path in HFE. Nominees can be from any country including both IDCs and developed countries. Up to 13 winners can be recognised each year, with 8 awards given to PhD students, and 5 awards to early career scholars/researchers (within 10 years of completing a PhD). The award amount is $1,000 for each selected student and $1,500 for each selected early career researcher.
