AACC Awards

The American Automatic Control Council sponsors five awards. These awards are given to recognize excellence in scientific, technological, or educational contributions to automatic control. The deadline for submission of award nominations is Dec. 1 of the year previous to the award year. This is a hard deadline.

Nomination packages may be carried over as follows. Nominations received in year Y can be held over and considered as nominees again in years Y+1 and Y+2. Updates to the nomination package are encouraged, but optional. Note that for the Eckman award, the nominee must still be eligible. If the nominee does not win the award by year Y+2, the nominee cannot be considered in years Y+3 and Y+4. Re-nomination with a new nomination package can be made in year Y+5.
