AE Nominatiom Form 2012

NOTE: To download and fill the AE Nomination Form 2012 please use Adobe's PDF Reader Version 7.0.5 or higher. Note that current versions are already 10.x , so if the PDF's don't work for you it is time to update your pdf Reader!!

(Attention Mac users: make sure that you open the nomination form using the Adobe Reader and not by means of the (default) MacOS "preview" application!)

Please read first the following rules of the Nomination Procedure 2012
#

• For each candidate you want to nominate download the above AE Nomination Form 2012 and store it on your computer, best using the name of the candidate.

• You and one co-nominator have to fill out all fields marked * in the AE Nomination Form 2012. When complete, send it as attachment to an e.g. empty email to nominations@ae-info.org by April 30, 2012 the latest .

• Submitting a form to the same section with exactly the same name for a candidate overwrites the previously uploaded form (i.e. later improvements are possible till the end of the nomination period)

• The nomination form does not allow any attachments. Nominators are free to send additional information on candidates to their section chair, who in turn can pass them on to the members of the section committee.

• Nominees (candidates) can be involved in the nomination processing by being asked to fill out the personal parts of the AE Nominatiom Form 2012, but they need not be informed about their nomination (to avoid disappointment when not being accepted, or to provide a positive surprise if accepted)

• Two nominators (and only two) nominators are obligatory. One of them has to come from a country different from the country of the candidate, both nominators must be ordinary members. (NOTE: foreign members, honorary members and patrons are NOT ordinary members an hence cannot nominate candidates)

• Each section chair has to provide a report of nomination activities (including a ranked list, the ranking involving all members of the section committee) to the chairperson of the nomination committee Ole Peterson at petersenoh@cardiff.ac.uk with a cc to Betty Lim at membership@acadeuro.org and David Coates at Execsec@acadeuro.org by June 15, 2012 the latest.

• Each section can choose the ranking mechanism it favours. If the ranking is done using the average of numeric grades, a scale of 0 – 5 is recommended as follows: Grades are: 5 (a must); 4 (very good); 3 (good); 2 (acceptable); 1 (doubtful); 0 (absolutely no), all grades in comparison to AE quality. I.e. “good” does not mean “a good professor” but good compared with the average of members in the section. Thus, a “good professor” may well be unacceptable to AE, i.e. get grade 0: the aim of AE is, after all, to get as members the roughly 5% top researchers in each field

• The list of all nominees is visible to all nomination committee members and the board throughout (to e.g. note and act on not enough nominations in some area); the list of nominees in a section is visible to all section members. Note: Here we are talking about a list of names, not a list of dossiers. Full dossiers are accessible to all authorized persons, i.e. the nominators of a person for the dossier of that person; the members of the section committee for all dossiers of their section; the members of the nomination committee and the board members for all dossiers after the end of the nomination period, i.e. after April 30, 2012.

• To view nominations submitted, go to www.ae-info.org, log in, click at Forums (left upper part of page), on the new page click at Nominations (left lower corner), then choose the relevant section where you will find an alphabetic list. Once you have opened a dossier (nomination) to get a good print-out click at the button "Show printer-friendly version" first. After the end of nomination (April 30, 2012) PDFs of all nominations will be sent automatically to David Coates for further action. Chairs can also get their nominations as PDFs form hmaurer@iicm.edu after April 30, 2012.
