Creativity is defined here as the ability to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems or communicating with others.
The award is given to a candidate, who displaying exceptional creativity - has contributed research/a theory/a concept/a method that has had a significant impact of the field of applied ethology. Pairs or a group of people can be nominated under exceptional circumstances. This could be for a creative joint (ISAE) activity that meets the rest of the criteria.

Albert Szent-Györgyi (1893-1986)
