[Professor Ron Sun]

               ****   Reminder:  INNS Award nominations  ****

INNS (International Neural Networks Society; http://www.inns.org)
has a well established awards program, designed to recognize
individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of
Neural Networks. Up to three awards, one in each of the following
categories, are presented annually at IJCNN to senior individuals
for outstanding contributions made to the field of Neural Networks.

The Hebb Award - recognizes achievement in biological learning.
The Helmholtz Award - recognizes achievement in sensation/perception.
The Gabor Award - recognizes achievement in engineering/application.

In addition, there is the Young Investigator Award: up to two awards
are presented annually to individuals with no more than five years
postdoctoral experience and who are under forty years of age, for
significant contributions to the field of Neural Networks.

The INNS Awards Committee is now inviting nominations for the 2010
Hebb, Helmholtz, and Gabor awards as well as the Young Investigator
awards. You can find the details of the nomination procedure on the INNS
Web page: http://www.inns.org; please click on "awards program".

I would urge you to think of highly qualified candidates and send in
formal nominations for them (see the INNS web page for the  
instructions).
Please email the nominations (along with attachments) directly to the
chair of the Awards Committee at rsun at rpi.edu by April 1, 2009.
