The International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) is delighted to announce the launch of the IIR Best Student Paper Competition at the 25th International Congress of Refrigeration (ICR2019) which will take place next year in Montreal, Canada.
Open to students up to Master's level (plus one year), the IIR Best Student Paper Competition will give a unique opportunity to not only to bring to the limelight the work achieved by today's future talents but also to emphasise the importance mentoring and role models can have for the sector. It would be great to have some UK candidates taking part in this, the largest gathering of RACHP researchers, which takes place every four years.
Please visit https://bit.ly/2xtFyl2 to take part and for a chance to win a 500 euros prize. Don't delay as the call for abstracts ends on 28 June 2018.
