Nominations for ECI and IRPE Prize Winners 2010

 

Since 1986 the International Ecology Institute in Oldendorf/Luhe (Germany) selectes each year two top performers in the field of ecology: the winner of the Ecology Institute Prize (which carries an endowment of €6000) and the winner of the IRPE Prize (which carries an endowment of €3000).

 

The Prize Winners are selected by a jury consisting of 7 ECI members, chosen by the ECI’s director. The jury members elect their chairperson.

 

The prizes are awarded in annual sequence to a marine, terrestrial or limnetic ecologist distinguished by outstanding and sustained scientific achievements. The prize both honors the recipient and requires him or her to serve science and society by authoring a book published in the series “Excellence in Ecology” (EE) and made available worldwide on a non-profit basis.

 

A number of EE books are donated to libraries in Third World countries. The books present the personal experiences, insights and visions of their authors. These should criticize freely, and courageously formulate new scientific concepts.

 

ECI prize winners, their major achievements and their EE book titles are listed under ECI Prize Winners.

IRPE prize winners and their major achievements are listed under IRPE Prize.

The aims of the International Ecology Institute are summarized at International Ecology Institute.
