The first annual Call for Nominations has been released for the Fellows of The Combustion Institute. Members of the international combustion community recognized by their peers as distinguished for outstanding contributions to combustion, whether it be in research or in applications, may be designated Fellows. This lifetime honorific title confers no special rights, privileges or duties. Fellows are active participants in The Combustion Institute, as evidenced by the publishing of papers in CI affiliated journals, attendance at the International Symposia on Combustion, and/or attendance at CI Section meetings.
To be eligible to be nominated, a candidate must have been a member of The Combustion Institute for at least the previous five years. Nominations are submitted by a nominator and two supporters, all of whom must be members of The Combustion Institute. Self-nominations are not accepted and Fellows Selection Committee members may not nominate or support a candidate.
Nomination packages must be received by the deadline of 23:59 EST, 30 September 2017. The first class of Fellows will be announced in late January 2018. Each nomination will remain active for three consecutive years, with the nominator being given the opportunity to update a candidate’s nomination package each year. The complete nomination and submission process can be reviewed in the Call for Nominations.
In March 2017, The Combustion Institute Board of Directors established the Fellows Program of The Combustion Institute to recognize distinguished members of the international combustion community for outstanding scientific contributions. The first Fellows Selection Committee is now assembled and charged with the responsibility to evaluate nominees each year and select candidates to become Fellows.
