Like the community ICES envisions, this award is broader than the organization celebrating global influence in marine science.
The recipient will have contributed to the sustained use and conservation of marine ecosystems through their research, leadership, and collaboration. Innovation, teamwork, mentoring, and communication exemplify the career of the recipient of this award.
The candidates for this award come from the wider marine science community and need not have an association with ICES.
The Prix d Excellence is presented every third year at ICES Annual Science Conference (ASC).
