IEEE Medals, Technical Field Awards, and Recognitions

The Awards program honors achievements in education, industry, research, and service. Each award has a unique mission and criteria, and offers the opportunity to honor distinguished colleagues, inspiring teachers and corporate leaders.

This would not be possible without the generous contributions from sponsors.

IEEE Medals are the highest awards in the hierarchy of IEEE recognitions.  Each new and revised IEEE Medal specification shall embrace significant and broad IEEE interests and purposes.
