The 2027 MTT-Society Awards Call for Nominations

The IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) annually recognizes distinguished individuals or teams for their meritorious achievements and/or outstanding technical contributions in the field of microwave theory and technology.

The deadline for nominations for the 2027 MTT-Society Awards is 31 July, 2026. Nomination forms can be downloaded from the individual award descriptions presented at https://mtt.org/ieee-and-mtt-s-awards/, where further general and specific information is given, and shall be submitted to mttawardschair@ieee.org.

The MTT-Society is presenting the following Society Awards each year:

  • The Microwave Career Award recognizes a career of meritorious achievement and outstanding technical contribution by an individual in the field of microwave theory and technology; see https://mtt.org/microwave-career-award/.
  • The Microwave Pioneer Award recognizes an individual or a team having made outstanding pioneering technical contributions that advance microwave theory and technology. These contributions are to have been made at least 20 years prior to the year of the award. It is not a condition that nominees are the sole or original researcher or developer. Significant contribution of a specific nature is the key criterion; see https://mtt.org/microwave-pioneer-award/.
  • The Microwave Application Award recognizes an individual or a team of no more than five individuals for an outstanding application of microwave theory and technology, which has been reduced to practice nominally ten years before the award. Publication of a paper is not required; see https://mtt.org/microwave-application-award/.
  • The Distinguished Educator Award recognizes a distinguished educator in the field of microwave engineering and science who best exemplifies the special human qualities of Fred Rosenbaum, who considered teaching a high calling and demonstrated his dedication to the MTT-Society through tireless service; see https://mtt.org/distinguished-educator-award/.
  • The Distinguished Service Award recognizes an individual who has given outstanding service for the benefit and advancement of the MTT-Society; see https://mtt.org/distinguished-service-award/.

  • The Outstanding Young Engineer Award recognizes an outstanding young MTT-Society member who has distinguished themselves through achievements within the MTT-Society field of interest that may be technical, may represent exemplary service to the MTT-Society, or may be a combination of both. Up to four awards can be given: two in the category “Industry/Government” and two in the category “Academia”; see https://mtt.org/outstanding-young-engineer/.
