"Prigogine Awards & Scholarships from WIT"
Dear colleague CALL FOR APPLICATIONS Wessex Institute is delighted to announce two new initiatives in 2004: The Prigogine Awards, which will reward both a senior researcher and a young researcher for their outstanding work on the topic of ecological systems; and the Young Researcher Scholarships, which will allow a number of young researchers the opportunity to present their work at a Wessex Institute Conference and have it published in the associated proceedings. Full details of both initiatives follow below, including the application procedure. In order to encourage as many applications as possible we ask that you forward these details to any other colleagues that may be interested in applying for either of these awards. With best regards, Carlos Brebbia Director of Wessex Institute of Technology ========================================= PRIGOGINE AWARDS - CALL FOR APPLICATIONS ========================================= Two special medals and prizes have been instituted by the University of Siena and the Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT). The Bank Monte Dei Paschi di Siena, is providing sponsorship to support these important initiatives. The prizes will be awarded annually for the best papers presented at a relevant WIT conference on the topic of ecological systems. Each award consists of a gold medal and a cash prize of E5000. The medal has been specially commissioned from a group of goldsmiths who use the same techniques as the ancient Etruscans. It features the name of Prigogine and the symbol for bifurcation, to represent his distinctive work on ecodynamics. 2004 LAUNCH These awards will be launched this year at the Aula Magna, University of Siena, on Wednesday 16 June 2004. This event will mark the inauguration of the Third International Conference on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability (Siena, 14 - 16 June 2004: http://www.wessex.ac.uk/conferences/2004/sustainablecity04/index.html) and includes a joint session with the Second International Conference on Prevention, Assessment, Rehabilitation and Development of Brownfield Sites (Siena, 16 -18 June 2004: http://www.wessex.ac.uk/conferences/2004/brownfields04/index.html APPLICATION PROCEDURE The first medal and prize will be awarded to a Senior Researcher, nominated in advance by the Committee and invited to give the keynote address at the conference.
