The selection of K-DL is the responsibility of the sections, and should be approved by the AOGS council. The duration of K-DL and other benefits are same as DLs.

The award is named the “Kamide Lecture Award” in honour of Professor Yohsuke Kamide, one of three major founders of AOGS.

The Kamide Lecture Award replaces the Y Kamide Early Career Researcher (ECR) Award. In contrast to the Y Kamide ECR Award which was awarded to one of the ECR-DLs in the following year, the Kamide Lecture Award is given to all 8 sections’ Kamide Lecturers.
