About the Award

 

This award is given to the most significant contributions to the development of AISWorld in the preceding year. AISWorld is appreciative of the resource contributions of the individuals, their academic units, and their universities, without whose support there would be no AISWorld. All AISWorld sites, except those that have received the award in the past, are eligible to participate.
