• Must be a financial member of The Australian Society of Rheology.
• Must be internationally recognised as having made an outstanding and meritorious contribution to the science and technology of Rheology. Whilst service to The Society may be taken into account, it will not be the major factor that remains that of scientific achievement. Selection Process

The ASR Medallion sub-committee will:

• Review the emailed nominations.
• Contact the nominators to request a written testimonial (including a resume) justifying the nominee.
