Awards and honours
It is the responsibility of the Honours Committee to make nominations to the Executive Committee regarding potential recipients of Distinguished Fellowship and the CIRSE Gold Medal.
Executive Board makes nominations regarding future CIRSE Annual Congress Josef Roesch and Andreas Gruentzig Lecturers.
Gold Medallists have made outstanding contributions to the practice and science of interventional radiology on an international scale. National contributions and clinical excellence alone shall not be sufficient. Gold Medallists also have significantly promoted the image and impact of the society by personal influence and international recognition.
