Outstanding Contribution Certificate

This certificate is given for a specific achievement of major value and significance to the IEEE Computer Society

The Outstanding Contribution Certificate is the third highest level service certificate. Unlike the Distinguished Service and Meritorious Service Certificates, this certificate is given for a specific achievement of major value and significance to the IEEE Computer Society. The achievement should be a specific, concisely characterized accomplishment, as opposed to a collection of different efforts. Examples are: the successful launching of a major conference series, a specific publication, standards and model curricula. A group OC award may be given for a major contribution in which a number of volunteers each made significant contributions. Certificates bearing all names would be awarded.
  • The award nomination requires a minimum of 2 endorsements.

  • Nominations are accepted throughout the year
