The award was formally handed over at the annual Technical Committees (TC) 13 (TC13: Human-Computer Interaction) meeting in New Zealand.

“The IFIP Silver core award is conferred on those who have served IFIP as General Assembly (GA) members, committee officers, members of IFIP Congress Program Committees, and editors of proceedings of IFIP conferences. The required length of service varies with the role. The president of IFIP may also propose individuals who have given exceptional service to IFIP. (Those readers who have entered the field of information processing in recent years may not realize that the IFIP logo represents a magnetic core <a toroidal memory device that was once the most common type of computer memory> and its wires, with a globe superimposed. The award, first established in 1974, was named after this symbol of the computer technology of that time.)”(Jan Gulliksen Chairman of TC 13)

The IFIP Outstanding Service Award, established in 1988, is given for services rendered to IFIP by TC and Working Groups (WG) members, on recommendation of TC chairman and approval by the Internal Awards Committee.

“Formally, IFIP is a non-governmental, non-profit umbrella organization for national societies working in the field of information processing. It was established in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO as a result of the first World Computer Congress held in Paris in 1959.”(About IFIP)
