Bo Lindell award

The Bo Lindell award was introduced by NSFS in 1996. Below is a list of the Bo Lindell awardees and the title of their talks for the respective NSFS conference. The procedure for the Bo Lindell award follows specific Criteria and Rules.

Criteria

The Bo Lindell award can be appointed to a person whom the society wishes to acknowledge for his/her great merits in the field of radiation protection. Such merits may be achieved by e.g. promoting or contributing to good radiation protection theoretically and/or practically over many years or in other ways contribute to achieve the objectives of the Society.

Rules and procedure

The board of the chairing country nominates a person, that is not a member from the same country, by announcing this to the boards of the other Nordic countries at least 15 months before the ordinary meeting.

The boards of the other countries must submit their endorsement or comments to the proposal within three months. The Bo Lindell awardee is then decided by the board in the chairing country. After that, the President contacts the intended person and ask if he/she accepts the proposition of the Bo Lindell award.

The awardee is given the honour to hold the first lecture during the conference in connection with the regular meeting, on any topic in the filed of radiation protection. The Bo Lindell awardee is also awarded with a diploma.

The Society provides travel reimbursement (low-cost options), the conference fee and possible costs for accommodation.

The above was decided at the NSFS Board meeting in Rättvik 28th of August 2005.
