The J&E Hall International Gold Medal acknowledges outstanding technical achievements in refrigeration.
Now in its 40th year, this internationally respected award is given in recognition of outstanding technical achievements in refrigeration and related fields.
The award is open to individuals or teams with recent outstanding achievements in one or more of the following areas:
- Practical applications of innovative designs;
- Projects which have made an original contribution to the field;
- Systems which demonstrate substantial potential and evidence that they will be completed successfully;
- Outstanding and significant work in a new or unusual area.
The award is designed to encourage progress rather than acknowledge past achievement, and the winner will join a select list of recipients that includes refrigeration greats such as Professor Gustav Lorentzen, Professor P. Ole Fanger, Professor Don Cleland, Mr Ron Conry and Professor Pega Hrnjak.
The presentation will take place at the 118th IOR Annual Dinner in London, and the winner will receive a gold medal to hold for one year, a silver replica to keep and a cash award of £5,000.
Information about the award and a nomination pack is available at www.ior.org.uk/awards, or email ior@ior.org.uk.
All nominations must include a contact address, email address and a few words about the nature of the achievement of the nominee.
Nominations are requested by the 15 October 2017.
