[OpenGeoscience] FW: Candidates for the Copernicus Medal 2016 - reminder

[Margherita Di Leo]

Dear All,

Please find hereinafter a call for proposing candidates for the Copernicus Medal. We were discussing with some of you about the opportunity to propose names of "champions" in open source. It would be a big publicity for open source and open geo science to have it rewarded in a popular arena like this. If you agree, please do suggest candidates directly to Copernicus, or we could agree on one/two candidates and write a collective email in their support. What do you think? Please note that the deadline is 31 Oct.

With my best regards,
Margherita

Dear Ph.D. Di Leo,
Dear colleagues,

The Copernicus Gesellschaft e.V., partner of Copernicus Meetings & Publications, invites you and your colleagues to suggest appropriate candidates from the international community of the geo- and space sciences for the Copernicus Medal. This award has been presented since 2014 (see http://www.copernicus-gesellschaft.org/medal.html).

The Copernicus Medal recognizes ingenious, innovative work in the geosciences and in the planetary and space sciences and in their exceptional promotion and international cooperation, in particular of colleagues being still in the midst of their scientific career.

Any suggestions will be assessed by an international and interdisciplinary committee and the award will be presented at a special commemorative event in 2016.

Please note that this medal is not in competition with other medals presented by scientific associations and societies collaborating with us on conferences or publications.

We kindly ask you to submit your proposal(s) by 31 October 2015 at the latest by email to: copernicus.medal at copernicus.org

Thank you very much for your attention.

Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Kristian Schlegel
Copernicus Gesellschaft e.V.
