IUFRO honours deserving individuals and Member Organizations through a number of distinctions and Awards. The International Council and the Board of IUFRO are assisted by an Honours and Awards Committee (appointed by the Board) in deciding on recipients of the various honours and Awards. There are presently four Awards that relate to scientific endeavour:
Scientific Achievement Award recognises outstanding achievements of up to 10 scientists.
Outstanding Doctoral Research Award recognises outstanding individual scientific achievements of young scientists.
Best Poster Award recognises outstanding posters presented at the Congress.
Students Award for Excellence in Forest Sciences recognises outstanding scientific publications, Master’s or diploma theses (not PhD theses).
In the course of preparing for the IUFRO World Congress 2005, the Congress Organizing Committee (COC), on behalf of the Australian IUFRO Member Organizations, recommended the establishment of an Award for pre-eminent forest scientists from the countries that host the successive IUFRO World Congresses. The Host Scientific Award will be presented for the first time at the 2005 Congress.
IUFRO World Congress Host Scientific Award honours a truly outstanding scientist from the Congress host country/countries who has elevated the profile of forest science and research accomplishments.
