Each year since 1976 the DDA has
honored the achievements of a major contributor to the field of
dynamical astronomy, recognizing the awardee with an honorarium, a
certificate, and presentation of an award lecture. Recent recipients
include Simon White, Victor Brumberg, Tim de Zeeuw, Andrea Milani,
and Lia Athanassoula.
The Brouwer Award was established to recognize outstanding contributions
to the field of Dynamical Astronomy, including celestial mechanics,
astrometry, geophysics, stellar systems, galactic and extra galactic
dynamics. The Selection Committee seeks a wide range of award candidates
differing in age, gender, nationality, occupation, field of interest,
and scientific and technical contributions. The main criteria, which are not
necessarily weighted equally, are (a) excellence in scientific research;
(b) impact and influence in the field; (c) excellence in teaching and
training of students; (d) outstanding advancement and other support of the
field through administration, public service or engineering achievement.
