ISME/IWA Biocluster Award

The ISME/IWA Biocluster Awards recognize and reward interdisciplinary research of unusual merit in the interface of microbial ecology and water/wastewater treatment.

Nominations for the award must be made by a current IWA and/or ISME member and can only be submitted through a designated form, accompanied by two support letters by scientists affiliated neither with your institution nor with the institution of the nominated candidate.

The nominator and nominee cannot come from the same institution. In addition, an extended CV of the candidate together with a complete publication list must be submitted. Please be aware that no self-nomination is possible.

Candidates can be senior leaders in the field but can also be young rising stars.

The review and evaluation committee is composed of leading experts from IWA and ISME.
