The IEEE Pioneer Award in Nanotechnology is given by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Nanotechnology Council for research in nanotechnology .[ 1]
The main considerations for judging include distinction in long-term technical achievements, leadership, innovation, breadth, and impact on nanotechnology and engineering,[ 2] recognizing individuals whose technical achievements go beyond the borders of a particular technical society. Nominees must be at least 10 years beyond their terminal degree .[ 1] [ 3] One or two Pioneer Awards are given each year;[ 4] when two are awarded, there may be one for academics, and one for industry or government. The award consists of honorarium and a commemorative plaque.
