THE AVA - DAVID MARR MEDAL - 2025

** FINAL REMINDER, TWO WEEKS TO THE DEADLINE **

==========================================

The AVA awards, normally every two years, a medal recognizing the
achievements of an outstanding vision scientist in the early part of their
research career. The award is called the David Marr Medal, in memory of one
of Britain's most distinguished vision researchers. This notice is a call
for nominations for the 2025 award.

Nomination

Candidates from any country are eligible as long as they can demonstrate a
significant link to UK research, and who completed their PhD no more than
10 years ago*. More precisely: for the 2025 award, nominees should have
submitted their PhD on or after Jan 1st 2015.

*Allowances can be made for illness, career or child-rearing breaks.

Nominations (but not self-nominations) are invited from AVA members, and
should include:

•  a letter of recommendation (use standard letter template from AVA
website)

•  the nominee's CV (with list of publications, funding, outreach)

•  two example publications (PDF files).

Any eligible vision scientist may be nominated, whether nominated
previously or not.

The Award

The winner of the 2025 award will be announced by the end of May 2025. They
will be invited to receive it and to give a talk at the AVA Christmas
meeting 2025.
