The Geijsbeek PACRIM International Award recognizes individuals who are members of the Pacific Rim Conference (PACRIM) societies for their contributions in the field of ceramics and glass technology that have resulted in significant industrial and/or academic impact, international advocacy, and visibility of the field. Industrial candidates will be evaluated based on the technology development and commercialization, and the development’s current usefulness and importance, its uniqueness, and its economic significance. The nomination deadline is May 23, 2020.

The PACRIM societies are The American Ceramic Society, Ceramic Society of Japan, Korean Ceramic Society, Chinese Ceramic Society, and Australian Ceramic Society.

Two Geijsbeek Awards will be presented at the 2021 PACRIM conference. Recipients will be chosen from different signatory societies in each selection cycle. Nominees that were not selected for the 2021 award will remain eligible for the 2023 cycle. Unsuccessful nominations may be resubmitted after four years. Active nominations may be updated during the four years of eligibility; however, the length limitations must be met. Recipients are required to be present at the award ceremony.

The Geijsbeek Awards consists of a certificate and $1,000 honorarium (USD). It is the practice of host Societies to offer complimentary registrations to Geijsbeek PACRIM International Award Winners.

Visit the Geijsbeek Award page for details on the nomination process. Submit your nominations by May 23rd.
