The workshop is hosted by the Flight Test Safety Committee of Society of Experimental Test Pilots (SETP) and of Society of Flight Test Engineers (SFTE). In London the workshop was held in the premises of the Royal Aeronautical Society. The recipient is nominated by a jury, consisting of three flight test experts. Up to now the award was granted twice. In November 2008 the workshop was held in Amsterdam, in 2009 it will be held in Vienna.
