EGOS Honorary Membership was created in 1998 to honour and thank scholars who have made pioneering and lasting contributions
both to the advancement of knowledge in the social sciences dealing with organization, organized and organizing, and to EGOS
as an association.
Suggestions for the nomination of a new Honorary Member can be sent by active EGOS members to the EGOS Executive Secreariat
executive-secretariat@egos.org by December 31 of each year.
Please note: No current member of the EGOS Executive Board – whether elected by the members or ex officio – is eligible for nomination!
The EGOS Executive Board makes the final choice according to the two criteria mentioned above. It also takes into account
the European and international character of the association.
The new EGOS Honorary Member is welcomed with a laudation during the annual EGOS Colloquium each year.
