The International Lithosphere Programme (ILP) was established in 1980 as an inter-Union programme of IUGG and IUGS. The mission of ILP is to promote international cooperation between geology, geophysics and geotechnology and to establish the connection between the deep Earth and the Earth’s surface process (i.e. the focused interface between IUGS and IUGG). The Evgueni Burov Medal is awarded annually to honor praiseworthy mid-career achievements in lithosphere research. The medal shall promote high-class science in combination with community services. Nominations must include a Nomination Letter, CV with publication metrics, a list of references as well as 3-5 supporting letters (maximum one page each) in one single pdf file.

The Flinn-Hart Award is awarded to outstanding scientists younger than 36 years old for contributions to the solid earth sciences covered by the ILP. It consists of a travel grant and a citation, and aims to encourage the participation of promising young scientists in the Program. Nominators should include a letter of nomination and a Curriculum Vitae for each nominee.

The nomination materials should be submitted to ILP Bureau by email (ilp@nju.edu.cn) before December 15, 2026. For more information, please visit website: https://ilp.nju.edu.cn
