The George Hevesy Medal Award is the premier international award of excellence in radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry. It is awarded to an individual in recognition of excellence through outstanding, sustained career achievements in the fields of pure as well as applied nuclear and radiochemistry, particularly applications to nuclear analytical chemistry. Established originally in 1968 by the Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry (JRNC), the George Hevesy Medal Award has been given 19 times during 1968–1986. This Award has been reactivated in 2000. It is sponsored by JRNC and adjudicated by the International Committee on Activation Analysis/Modern Trends in Activation Analysis (ICAA/MTAA). The Award has no monetary value. The George Hevesy Medal Award comprises an engraved bronze medal and an ornamental scroll. The names (year) of the former awardees are: W. Wayne MEINKE (1968), Albert A. SMALES (1969), Ivan Pavlovich ALIMARIN (1970), Philippe ALBERT and Julien HOSTE (1972), Tibor BRAUN and Juraj TOLGYESSY (1975), Francesco GIRARDI (1976), Saadia AMIEL and Richard E. WAINERDI (1977), Robert E. JERVIS (1978), Vincent P. GUINN (1979), William S. LYON and Max PEISACH (1981), Edward V. SAYRE and Garman HARBOTTLE (1983), Georges AMSEL (1984), Nobuo SUZUKI (1985), Emile A. SCHWEIKERT (1986), Frans DE CORTE (2000), Amares CHATT and Eiliv STEINNES (2001), Enrico SABBIONI (2002), Jeroen J.M. DE GOEIJ (2003), Attila VERTES (2004), Nicholas M. SPYROU, Gregory CHOPPIN, Zhifang CHAI (2005), Jan KUCERA (2006), Robert R. GREENBERG (2007), Syed M. QAIM (2008), Richard M. LINDSTROM (2009), and Darleane M. HOFFMAN (2010). The George Hevesy Medal Award 2011 (HMA-11) will be presented at 13th International Conference on Modern Trends in Activation Analysis (MTAA-13) being held at the Center for Chemical Characterization and Analysis, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, U.S.A. during 2011 March 13–18. Nominations of worthy candidates for HMA-11 are widely solicited from the international community of practicing radiochemists and may be initiated by individual colleagues or their institutes including the members of the Editorial Advisory Board of the JRNC. There are no restrictions with respect to age, gender, nationality or other to who may be nominated among those whose achievements fall within the guidelines of the Hevesy Medal Award. A copy of the complete guideline can be obtained from: Professor A. Chatt, President of ICAA/MTAA. It is the responsibility of the nominator to prepare a complete, comprehensive and convincing statement of the outstanding achievements and contributions to the field that deserve of recognition through this award. There are no special forms for nomination. Each nomination, to be considered complete, must comprise: (i) a signed nomination letter, (ii) two signed co-sponsor letters, (iii) a concise but comprehensive 500–1000 word citation stressing the candidate’s outstanding and sustained contributions to radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, (iv) a 25–35 word citation for press release, (v) a signed consent letter by the candidate, and (vi) a recent complete curriculum vitae (CV) of the candidate (please follow the details given below). The nominator must ensure that all of these materials are included in the above sequence in a single file prior to sending it. It is preferable to use Adobe Acrobat A.
