Have you published a scientific paper related to materials testing? Zwick will reward the most innovative use of a materials testing machine for ground-breaking research. The entry deadline is November 30, 2013.
The development and use of new materials and technologies has always played an essential role. A substantial part of this development takes place in universities. Huge efforts are expended in university research and education worldwide to increase competitiveness and meet global challenges, for example climate and environment protection.
Some of the latest topics are lightweight materials, intelligent materials, biomaterials, and composites. Zwick’s aim in announcing this special award for scientists is to honor these achievements. The award will be presented during the Zwick University Day at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid (Spain) April 9, 2014.
Young university scientists with PhD or Master’s Degree, who have published their thesis within the last years are eligible. The field of interest is a scientific publication where the innovative use of mechanical testing equipment plays a major role.

The panel of judges will be chaired by Robert Strehle, industry manager for academia at Zwick. Judges from internationally renowned universities will nominate the winners.
