International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) Medals are awarded in recognition of exceptional and sustained contributions to the understanding of the Arctic. A maximum of one award is made each year, assuming that there is a nominee of appropriate quality. The award of medals will normally be by the President of IASC during the Arctic Science Summit Week (or exceptionally at another major international
meeting) following the ratification of the award.

Nominations can be submitted to the IASC Secretariat at any time. A medal nomination form is available on the IASC website http://www.iasc.info under 'news.'
