ANZMAG Medals

Every two years, ANZMAG awards two medals to recognize outstanding contributions of a senior and a younger member of the Australian and NZ magnetic resonance communities.

The ANZMAG Medal is open to all financial members of the Society who meet the eligibility criteria. The medal is designed to recognize outstanding contributions to magnetic resonance in Australia and/or NZ. While research contributions are of primary importance, other contributions, including teaching of magnetic resonance or service to the discipline, will also be considered.

The Sir Paul Callaghan Medal is open only to financial members of the Society who have completed a PhD no more than 15 years before the closing date, with appropriate allowance for significant career interruptions. This award recognizes outstanding achievements in research by younger members of the Society.
