The ASAB Medal, specially designed by Jonathan Kingdon and struck in bronze, is awarded annually for contributions to the science of animal behaviour - through teaching, writing, broadcasting, research, through fostering any of these activities, or through contributing to the affairs of ASAB itself. There is no limitation on age or career stage. Council intends the medal not only to provide an appropriate way of recognising distinction in our field, but also to contribute to raising the profile of ASAB and the field of animal behaviour in the wider scientific community.

Members of ASAB are invited to nominate one or more candidates for the 2013 Award, to be presented at the 2013 Summer meeting. Nomination forms can be downloaded here. Please use a separate copy of the form for each person you wish to nominate.

The completed form(s) must reach the ASAB Secretary by 1st July 2012.
