SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD
Recognizes those whose work has significantly contributed to the furthering of one or more of the
institutional goals and objectives of IUFRO’s strategy. The SRA may be given to an individual more than
once in his/her lifetime. Normally up to three Special Recognition Awards are made each year. The
Awards are targeted at individuals and partners from outside IUFRO.
Nominations can be made by IUFRO officeholders, members and staff any time, but at least two months
prior to the next Board meeting. Nominations and supporting material should be sent to the Chair of the
Honours and Awards Committee with a copy to the Executive Director. Nominations are approved by the
Board.
The awards are presented either by the President or by a high-ranking officeholder acting on the
President’s behalf. The time and place for presenting each award is coordinated by the IUFRO
Secretariat, in conjunction with the recipient. The names of the recipients are published in IUFRO News,
the Annual Report and the Congress Report.
