Description: The IEEE Control Systems Field Award was established by the IEEE Board of Directors in 1980, and may be presented annually on recommendation of the IEEE Awards Board through its Technical Field Awards Council. It is awarded for meritorious achievement or contributions to design, practice, techniques, or theory, as evidenced by publications or patents in the areas of control systems engineering, science, or technology.
(Nomination Form)

Prize: Bronze medal, certificate and cash prize.

Funding: Funded by the IEEE Control Systems Society.

Eligibility: Must have been a member of the CSS for at least five (5) years.

Presentation: At the Award Ceremony of the CSS.
