Two Best Graphical Abstract Awards from the Shaping 9 Conference and one Award from the Polish Ceramic Society go to Leoben!
From September 25th to 27th, the 9th Shaping Conference of the European Ceramic Society (ECERS) took place in Warsaw. Just before the conference, a Summer School titled "How to Shape Ceramic Ideas into Real Products – Laboratory Excellence versus Industrial Needs" was also held. As part of the conference and Summer School, there was a "Graphical Abstract Students Contest," where students and young researchers could submit a graphical summary of their respective research fields.
The Montanuniversität Leoben was represented at Shaping 9 by four participants from the Chair of Structural and Functional Ceramics (ISFK). The Leoben participants had reason to celebrate right after the opening ceremony when the awards for the Graphical Abstract Contest were presented. Dipl.-Ing. Abdullah Jabr earned the 3rd prize in the Graphical Abstract Students Contest for his graphical abstract on "Understanding the Lower Fracture Resistance of Cold Sintered Ceramics." Dipl.-Ing. Tobias Prötsch won the 1st prize with his graphical abstract on "Tape Casting of Cr2AlC MAX Phase for Multi-Material Designs." The Graphical Abstracts were evaluated by an international jury, and the authors were revealed only after the decision had been made.
A special highlight was the award of the "Polish Ceramic Society Award" to doc. Ing. David Salamon, Ph.D., in recognition of his contributions to the understanding and development of additive manufacturing.
We warmly congratulate all the award winners on their success!
