The Award for Collective Research is awarded every 4 years during the IAVCEI General Assembly.
This is a group achievement award that recognizes excellent work through collaboration. It can involve multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, national or international research groups and/or stakeholder that have contributed to a significant shift in understanding of science related to volcanology and/or chemistry of the Earth’s interior.
Criteria for eligibility include successful national or international cooperation that has resulted in outstanding research outputs (in terms of originality, significance and rigour) that can include but can also go beyond academic publications and/or social innovation (i.e. new social practices that aim to meet social needs resulting from – for example – cooperation, inclusivity, education, community development, risk reduction or public health).
