We are also excited to launch the Rich Ling Mobile Communication Book Award. This award recognizes outstanding books authored by ICA Mobile members and published during the preceding five calendar years. The recipient will receive a handcrafted wooden plaque created by Rich himself.

Leopoldina Fortunati Emerging Scholar Award

Finally, our Emerging Scholar Award has been renamed the Leopoldina Fortunati Emerging Scholar Award in recognition of Professor Leopoldina Fortunati's longstanding contributions to the field of mobile communication.
