Â鶹ÊÓƵ Mosonyi Award for Excellence in Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Mosonyi Award for Excellence in Â鶹ÊÓƵ recognises individuals within Â鶹ÊÓƵ's membership for outstanding contributions to the sector.

The award recognises individual contributions related to:

• a long-standing commitment or initiative that has had a major impact on the profession;
• a specific hydropower project, the performance of an organisation or the hydropower sector in general; or
• an aspect of hydropower sustainability (technical, economic, social or environmental) or a broad-ranging initiative, such as national-level or basin-level strategic planning.

Recipients of the Mosonyi Award are made honorary Â鶹ÊÓƵ members, and invited to attend our biennial World Â鶹ÊÓƵ Congress (registration fees waived), where the award is presented.

Why the name Mosonyi?

The award is named after Emil Mosonyi, the founding president of Â鶹ÊÓƵ. Prof Mosonyi, who passed away in 2009 aged 98, made major contributions during his long career in hydropower. His determination to champion excellence in hydropower lives on through Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s vision and mission.
