Recognizing Achievement in Communications Technology

IEEE ComSoc sponsors more than 20 awards, including monetary prizes, certificates, and plaques. We honor the successes of our members and individuals in communications technology who make substantial contributions to the advancement of the industry.

Paper Awards

ComSoc's major prize paper awards honor the achievements of authors whose articles appear in ComSoc publications. The Society’s major prize paper awards recognize writers of outstanding/original papers published in IEEE ComSoc journals and magazines. These papers essentially enlarge the field of communications engineering; for example, they may open new lines of research, envision bold approaches to communication, or formulate new problems to solve. Paper award recipients discover, extend, or complement technological advancements in education, industry, research, and service.

Please take this opportunity to nominate your colleagues who you feel have written outstanding articles.

Nominations are due 15 February
