CIRMS Ribbon Award
The CIRMS Ribbon Award is a high honorary recognition for outstanding work in the field of ionizing radiation measurements. The CIRMS Ribbon Award is presented to attendees of national conferences that are presenting posters.
Members designated by the CIRMS executive committee select the recipients of the award. The criteria of the award is based on the content of the work as well as the quality of the presentation given by the author of the poster.
There is a maximum of 10 Ribbon Awards presented at each conference. A list of past and current CIRMS Ribbon Award winners is listed on the CIRMS website.
