Guidelines for the Lifetime Achievement Award
Every two years, the Joint Executive Committee of the International
Bureau for Epilepsy and the International League against Epilepsy, will
discuss honouring those truly exceptional persons with a record of
achievement in work against epilepsy, which exceeds even that of those
who have been awarded the Ambassador for Epilepsy Award or the Award
for Social Accomplishment.
If such a person is elected, then during an International Epilepsy
Congress he/she will be presented with two silver candlesticks, upon
which will be engraved the logos of IBE and ILAE, the name of the Award
and the name of the recipient.
The recipient will be invited to attend the International Epilepsy
Congress to receive his/her Award and, if able to attend, he/she will
be offered free travel (business class), accommodation and registration
to the Congress. The Award will be presented during the International
Epilepsy Congress, following the election by the IBE and ILAE Executive
Committee.
Nominating Procedure
The candidate must be proposed by one of the members of the Executive
Committees of IBE or ILAE. Others outside the Committees may draw the
attention of a Committee member to a possible candidate, but the
decision to nominate lies with the Committee member.
The name of the nominee, together with a full record of his/her
lifetime achievements in the field of epilepsy and a letter setting out
the reasons why the candidate should be considered for election should
be sent to International Bureau for Epilepsy, 253 Crumlin Road, Dublin
12, Ireland, 3 months prior to the date of election. Nominations will
only be accepted if they reach the IBE office by the deadline.
Election Procedure
1. Each nomination must be distributed to each member of the Joint Executive Committee of IBE and ILAE.
2. Voting will be carried out by a secret ballot.
3. Each member will have one vote.
4. To be selected, the candidate must receive a unanimous vote.
5. The voting procedure may be repeated once.
6. The decision of the Joint Executive Committee will be final.
7. Immediately following the election the awardee will be informed of
his/her election. The recipient will be invited to attend the
International Epilepsy Congress to receive his/her Award.
8. The Award will be presented by the Presidents of IBE and ILAE,
following an outline of the achievements of the recipient, to those
assembled.
9. Information concerning the Award must be included in the materials
distributed to congress delegates and published in Epilepsia, Epigraph
