STM publisher Elsevier has announced the winners of the first triennial IEA Elsevier John Wilson Award.
The IEA Elsevier John Wilson Award is endorsed by the journal Applied Ergonomics and recognises major contributions in the field of applied ergonomics to the actual design of work, systems, technologies and environment, which lead to improvements in system performance and well-being. The award is presented to honour the memory of John Wilson (1951-2013), Professor of Human Factors at the University of Nottingham and former co-Editor-in-Chief of Applied Ergonomics.
The IEA Elsevier John Wilson Award for the year 2015 is jointly awarded to three ergonomists who in the course of their careers have made outstanding and lasting contributions to the discipline at a global level, have developed innovative theoretical concepts and methods and have illustrated a systems approach to the design of complex systems, in the spirit that John Wilson intended.
The year the award was presented to Dr. Peter Hancock, University of Central Florida; Dr. Mitsuo Nagamachi, International Kansei Design Institute; and Dr. Gavriel Salvendy, Purdue University and Tsinghua University. The award includes a total monetary prize of US $6,000 sponsored by Elsevier and was presented to the winners at the 19th Triennial Congress of the International Ergonomics Association, held in Melborne.
