The IARIA Nominations and Election Committee is pleased to announce that Dr. Aspen Olmstead has been nominated for a reward recognizing his continuous contributions in supporting IARIA scientific events.

  1. outstanding scientific research results endorsed by international peers
  2. exceptional scientific contribution to the IARIA events
  3. continuous leadership roles in IARIA conferences

Inclusion in the IARIA fellowship program rewards and acknowledges exceptional volunteers and implies continuous and sustainable support. IARIA Fellows are expected to continue acting as examples of scientific honesty towards the international community as well as manifest an increased level of voluntarism for IARIA events.
