The next biennial Winter Conference Awards in Plasma Spectrochemistry for 2022 are open for applications. The initial award was established in 2009, and an additional award for “young” scientists, who will be not older than 45 years at the time the award is presented, was established in 2015. Thermo Fisher Scientific sponsors both awards.
We would now like to invite scientists around the world to submit their nominations and applications for the next awards to be presented at the 2022 Winter Plasma Conference in Amelia Island, Florida, January, 2022. The awards will be presented to an established scientist and a young scientist who has made noteworthy contributions to the field of plasma spectrochemistry, either over a sustained period of time or through a single, significant breakthrough. The awards recognize achievements in one or more of the following:
The previous winners are as follows:
The award committee chooses the winners by simple majority. The award committee consists of seven members with the previous winner as chairman. Every new chairman has the right to appoint six respected scientists as members of the award committee. As soon as the winner and the other members of the new award committee have accepted their nomination, they replace the old chairman and committee.
All applications or nominations will be collected by Thermo Fisher Scientific and forwarded to the committee. The winners shall be announced approximately half a year ahead of the presentation of the awards. The winners will be awarded a sum of $5,000 USD, travel support to the Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry and meeting registration.
To apply for the Winter Conference Awards in Plasma Spectrochemistry or to nominate a candidate, please submit accompanying documents (nominating letter, one-page CV and no more than one supporting letter) to wpc.award@thermofisher.com by March 31, 2021.
