Exceptional Service Award

Launching in 2025

SCI members willingly give their time and energy to drive change and deliver new initiatives for SCI often working in teams. This new award recognises those members who have worked together as a team to deliver a key project for SCI.

The project must be an exceptional piece of work, delivered by a team that has shown exemplary behaviours and driven innovative change, impact, reputational enhancement or outreach for the SCI.

The recipients of the award will receive their acknowledgement and certificate at the Annual General Meeting and include an interview for publication, and a reward dinner paid for by SCI. The award will recognise each and every individual who contributed to advance the project.

There will be between one to three Exceptional Service Awards presented in any one year.

Nominations

Nominations can be made by any member of SCI or SCI staff member. Each nomination must have a ‘second’ nominator (seconder). A team may nominate themselves, but with the provision that they can find a nominator and seconder for the application who is not in the team.

Teams, groups or collaborations can be of any size, big or small, can be based at a single or multiple locations, and can be working across different countries.

All members of the team must be current SCI members.

Eligibility Criteria

The award will be considered by the Board of Trustees, who will receive nominations covering:

  • An outline of the project, covering the background and how it was started, the project itself and the outcome/conclusion.
  • The team (names and dates they were involved).
  • An impact statement with any data showing impact for SCI.
  • The significance of the project, and why it should be recognised.

SCI e-members are not eligible to be nominated, nor to make a nomination, for a Exceptional Service Award.
