IOBC-NRS Distinguished Scientist Award

The Nearctic Regional Section of IOBC is now soliciting nominations for the 2024 Distinguished Scientist Award. Nominees must have spent most of their career in the Nearctic Region and have made significant contributions to biological control. The nominee must be an IOBC member by the application deadline.
