Carl Wagner Medal of Excellence in Electrochemical Engineering - Call for Nomination

The Working Party on Electrochemical Engineering is pleased to announce the Carl Wagner Medal of Excellence in Electrochemical Engineering 2008.

The Carl Wagner Medal of Excellence in Electrochemical Engineering is awarded every three years by the Working Party on Electrochemical Engineering of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering to a European researcher under the age of 35 for outstanding contributions to research in applied electrochemistry or electrochemical engineering .

The Carl Wagner Medal of Excellence in Electrochemical Engineering this year will be presented at the 8th European Symposium on Electrochemical Engineering (Prague, Czech Republic 25 - 28 August 2008), an event sponsored by ISE Division 5, where the recipient of the medal will be invited to give a lecture.

Nominations for the medal with supporting documentation including

• a letter of support of the nomination by a senior electrochemist,
• curriculum vitae,  and
  
• list of publications
  

should be sent to the EFCE Working Party Chairman,
Prof. S. Bebelis, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Patras, GR 26504 Patras,Greece,
e-mail:

The deadline for submission of nominations is  25 May 2008 .
