Jacques Villermaux Medal

               
In 1998, the European Federation of Chemical Engineering introduced the Jacques Villermaux Medal. The Medal was presented together with the Dieter Behrens Medal for the first time in October 1999, on the occasion of the 2nd European Congress of Chemical Engineering (ECCE-2) in Montpellier, France.

The Jacques Villermaux Medal is presented every four years to recognise
"scientific achievements within the context of the Federation's science policy, working parties, conference programme or other related activities."

Rules for the Jacques Villermaux Medal

Prof. Dr. Ryszard Pohorecki, Poland, is the laureate of the Jacques Villermaux Medal 2011. He has been chosen for the award in recognition of his outstanding scientific achievements in the fields of absorption with chemical reaction, kinetics of chemical processes, micro-mixing and (bio-)chemical reaction engineering including enzyme synthesis, and your commitment to the development of chemical engineering education and training in Europe and worldwide. Furthermore, the award acknowledges his long and substantial contribution to the EFCE Working Parties on Fluid Separations and on Education, and his promotion of the whole scientific programme of the EFCE as our Scientific Vice President 2003-2007. The award will be presented at the opening ceremony of the 8th European European Congress of Chemical Engineering (ECCE-8) in Berlin, Germany, on 25 September 2011.
