During the inaugural year of the program, ISCB conferred the Fellow status on the seven winners-to-date of the ISCB Accomplishment by a Senior Scientist Award, and recognized these distinguished scientists during the ISMB/ECCB 2009 conference in Stockholm, Sweden. Since then ISCB has sought nominations from our community of members, which are reviewed and voted upon by a selection committee. > Nominate a Fellow > > ISCB ANNUAL AWARDS AND COMPETITIONS > > Annually, ISCB recognizes four scientist through its Awards program, as well as hosts a variety of computational science related competitions. > > ISCB Overton Prize Award ISCB Accomplishments by a Senior Scientist ISCB Outstanding Contributions to ISCB Award ISCB Innovator Award > > Annual Awards Deadline - December 2, 2019 > Submit a Nomination > > I SCB Africa ASBCB 2019 Live! > Not able to make it to ISCB Africa 2019?
