The International Cryogenic Engineering Committee awards a young researcher for outstanding work in cryogenic engineering. The award is named after Gustav and Ingrid Klipping to commemorate their enormous contributions to the field of cryogenics and more specifically to recognize their active role in involving young researchers. The award will be given on the occasion of the International Cryogenic Engineering Conference, which is held every two years. The next Conference will be in Oxford, UK, September 3-7, 2018. The candidate shall be 35 years old or younger on the starting date of the conference.
Prize
The awardee will receive a certificate and a check of 1000 CHF, plus a waiver of the registration fee of the ICEC conference at which the prize is to be awarded. The prize will only be awarded if the winner attends the conference and at the conference presents a paper on his or her recent research.
Nomination
The candidate must be nominated by a person who is active in the field of cryogenic engineering. The nomination should be supported by the person who has supervised the research work for which recognition is sought. Note that the latter person may be different from the nominator and, furthermore, that the host institution where the cited work was conducted can be different from the awardee’s past or present employers.
Nominations shall be sent via email to the chairman of the ICEC, h.j.m.terbrake@utwente.nl by October, 16th, 2017 at the latest.
The (electronic) nomination package should include:
- the completed nomination form,
- the nominee’s detailed curriculum vitae (résumé) (see details in the nomination form),
- ID photo of a good quality and preferably in colour,
- a presentation of the candidate by the nominator, with an assessment of the candidate’s career in science and/or practice with a detailed explanation of the candidate’s achievements motivating the award,
- in case the nominator did not supervise the work that recognition is sought for, the presentation should be supported by the supervisor of that work,
- a copy of an official document attesting the nominee’s date of birth,
- copies of the publications on the research work to be honored.
Selection
The nominations will be voted on by the board members of the International Cryogenic Engineering Committee. The winner will be notified by December, 21st, 2017 at the latest so that he or she can arrange to attend the 2018 conference.
