Each year, the Particle Technology Subject Group of IChemE
organises a competition for postgraduate research students in particle
technology who have completed more than one year of their project
work. Finalists gave a presentation at the
Particle Technology Forum and the prize-winners were announced
at the Forum Dinner on 25th June.
We are grateful to the Particle Technology Subject Group of IChemE and to
Unilever for sponsoring the prizes.
