EPS Award Committee set up a selection procedure:
- At least 3 nominations per award, if there are less nominations the award will be postponed to the next year
- Nominations (without changes) can be submitted the following year again
- 2 steps procedure
- Step 1:
- Nominations will be anonymized (by Anja Mosselman)
- Dividing the committee in three groups (per award 2-3 people)
- Each subgroup will generate a shortlist with the Top 3
- Step 2:
- Nominations are not anonymized anymore
- The whole committee will evaluate the three Top 3
- Short interview with the nominators (max 10 min)
- If there is no clear first place, somebody outside the committee can be asked for advice
- Should not be part of the group of the possible award winners
- For example: Theme coordinators, EPS office members or board members
- Step 1:
- The award winners will be announced at the Annual Meeting Experimental Plant Sciences in Lunteren
