IXAS Awards

Soliciting IXAS Awards is a tradition of the IXAS and a highlight of the recent XAFS Conference. There are three IXAS awards to be handed out at the ceremony in the IXAS session. The IXAS Chair forms the Awards Committee consisting of five voting members representing different scientific areas after opening a call for nominations to the Awards Committee. Nominations with cv or recommendation letters are received by the Awards Committee which selects the winners by voting.
