Awards

・The Dyke Award is administered to recognize an individual contributor to the science or application of electrical discharges or electrical insulation in vacuum for a body of significant contributions.
・The Chatterton Award is administered to recognize outstanding achievement of young investigators in the field of discharges and electrical insulation in vacuum and to encourage young scientists and engineers to enter this field.
・The "ISDEIV Best Paper Award – Japan Prize" is administered to recognize the most significant contribution of the past Symposium of ISDEIV. Significance will be judged by scientific or technological novelty and the likely impact on the fields of electrical discharges and electrical insulation in vacuum.
・The Best Film Award is administered to recognize the use of modern visualization techniques in particular movies and animation sequences in the field of discharges and electrical insulation in vacuum.

Walter P. Dyke Award

Any worker in the field may nominate a candidate. The nomination should be in the form of a letter to the Chair of the Awards Committee (currently Prof. Rene Smeets, mail to: rene.smeets(at)dnvgl.com), detailing the contribution of the candidate, and its significance. Publicity about the award should be included in each symposium proceedings, and in other media as appropriate. The deadline for nomination is November 30 of the year before the symposium.

Paul A. Chatterton Young Investigator Award

To be eligible for the Paul A. Chatterton Young Investigator Award, the candidate must
- be under the age of 35 as of the closing date of the symposium;
- present a paper at the ISDEIV in the Paul A. Chatterton Award Poster Session, of which he or she is either the sole author, or the first author of a multi-author paper (submission of a single-author paper is strongly encouraged).

Best Paper Award - Japan Prize

A. The contributions must be
- presented at the symposium
- included in the Proceedings of the symposium in award-worthy quality.
- An altered and expanded version of the symposium contribution is required to be accepted for publication in a peer reviewed journal as determined by PISC. As of 2012, IEEE Transactions of Plasma Science (TPS) and IEEE Transactions of Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation (DEI) continue to be the designated peer-reviewed journals. Authors of TPS Special Issue will be automatically considered. Authors of manuscripts to DEI are requested to inform the Chair of the Awards Committee, Prof. Rene Smeets (rene.smeets(at)dnvgl.com), of the acceptance of manuscript. This will help the committee to not overlook candidates.
B. One contribution and one alternate will be nominated by the Awards Committee, a subcommittee of PISC. The Awards Committee will consult with the IEEE Guest Editors and PISC members. PISC members or Award Committee members who are nominated are excluded from any further discussions of the nomination and selection process.
C. The nominated contribution and the possible alternate will be recommended by the Award Committee to PISC for final confirmation and approval.
D. The PISC will make the final determination at its "interim meeting" (via e-mail or phone conference) between the Symposia. The Chair and Secretary of PISC are responsible for the organizing this meeting.

Best Film Award

To be eligible for the Best Film Award, the candidate must present a paper at the ISDEIV symposium, in which the film is part of the work.
