These medals are now an annual event, with a specific medal ceremony during the European Space Weather Week (November 2016, Belgium, http://www.stce.be/esww13/).

The International Kristian Birkeland medal for Space Weather and Space Climate relates to outstanding scientific or technological results.

The International Marcel Nicolet medal for Space Weather and Space Climate rewards efforts to structure the space weather community at an international level.

The International Alexander Chizhevsky medal for Space Weather and Space Climate rewards a young researcher (PhD or having defended his thesis within the last 8 years prior to the ESWW 13, i.e. after October 30th, 2008) for major contributions to space weather research and/or services.
