ICES Awards

Each year at the Annual Science Conference (ASC), the ICES Recognition Programme honours scientists who have made especially notable contributions to the organization and the wider marine science world.

ICES Awards are presented to individuals whose contributions have enhanced the organization and its community of scientists, advanced marine science, and/or exemplified the application of ICES scientific information to societal decisions on the sustainable use of marine ecosystems.

We have four awards:

The ICES Recognition Programme is managed by the ICES Awards Committee, which consists of two Council representatives: Pierre Petitgas, France (Chair) and Carl O'Brien, UK; and three representatives from the Science Committee: Begoña Santos, Spain; Henn Ojaveer, Estonia; and Daniel Duplisea, Canada.
