Emerging Technology Award
The Emerging Technology Award may be presented annually to an individual, working group, or company that has advanced, initiated, or progressed a new technology within the IEEE SA open consensus process, and which meet the following criteria:
- The IEEE SA work product is a balloted standards document, a standard, recommended practice, or guide. It is not necessary for the final document to be approved, but substantial progress beyond the PAR is necessary.
- The IEEE SA work product is the first, or one of few such activities for the technology, industry, or market(s) for which it is targeted.
- A technology, industry, or market where broad consensus agreements are not yet widely deployed, or not yet fully commercialized.
- The IEEE SA work product has positive market relevance.
- The effort places IEEE in a leadership position.
- The contribution extends the IEEE SA standards portfolio.
