Fellow nominations

Members of the EOS are invited to nominate candidates for the category of Fellowship.

The category of EOS Fellow may be conferred upon distinguished members of the society. It is the highest category of membership of the EOS and up to 2% of the membership may be elected to the Fellowship. Membership dues are the same as for normal members of the Society. It is expected that Fellows will play a leading role in guiding and advising the Society.

A candidate for Fellowship must be a member of the EOS. Successful nominees will have one or more of the following qualities:

  • Have made outstanding research contributions to optics and photonics, through published papers, books, conference presentations, patents or other published material.
  • Have served the optics and photonics community by teaching or training, or by industrial leadership, or by service as an Editor, conference organiser or other professional service.
  • Have made a special contribution to the European Optical Society.

Any member of the EOS may nominate up to three candidates for Fellowship. A nomination form must be completed for each candidate by downloading the form and submitting by FAX, as an email attachment, or by regular mail. Each nomination must be supported by:

  • Two letters of support, of which at least one must be from another EOS member: the letters of support should address the criteria for Fellowship listed above.
  • A short biography/CV of the candidate, not to exceed five pages.

The nomination form and supporting material must be received by the closing date,

Monday, 19th of May, 2008, 23:59 hrs GMT.

All applications will be considered by the Fellows Committee. Any application not successful will be carried over for updating and consideration for up to three consecutive years.

All nomination material MUST reach the EOS by 23:59 GMT on Monday, 19th of May, 2008.
