​

5. Awards

ESAFS is not affluent at present, and every ESAFS member society that will hold the ESAFS Office in the future may not always be expected to be financially affluent. Therefore, the appropriate way of recognition to the Awardee should be seeked for by understanding the present financial situation of ESAFS and the member societies.

 [Report of ESAFS8 President (October 23, 2007): For 2007 ESAFS7 Award, testimonials and award medals were prepared by a financial support of JSSSPN.]
