KR Pavlos Peppas Distinguished Service Award: Call for Nominations

The KR Pavlos Peppas Distinguished Service Award serves to recognize exceptional and sustained service to the Knowledge Representation and Reasoning community, whether it be service to the KR conference series, the KR Inc. organization, other KRR-related events, or more generally, any (non-research) activities that have helped foster a vibrant research community and/or increase the visibility of the KRR field.

Nominations

The Awards Committee encourages KRR researchers to nominate individuals they feel are deserving of the Distinguished Service Award. Nominations should emphasize the impact on the broader field of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, rather than a sub-field.

Nominations should be sent by email to the chair of the Awards Committee: Tommie Meyer (tmeyer@cair.org.za).

Please attach a single PDF with a short text (1-2 paragraphs) describing the nominee's services to the community, as well as a brief CV.

Note: If you wish to nominate an Awards Committee member, please submit your nomination by email to a committee member not having a conflict and/or to the KR Inc. President (Gabriele Kern-Isberner).

The official announcement will be made at KR 2026.
