• By one or more singular outstanding contributions – books, articles, reports, lectures, public activities, etc, or, in aggregation: i.e. through the production over time of a significant body of work which amounts in total to an outstanding achievement, or a sustained contribution to enhancing the discipline’s interests on the national or international stage.
• Nominators for the prize should be members of the BSC.
