Stratis V. Sotirchos Lectureship award

FORTH/ICE-HT (www.iceht.forth.gr) has created the "Stratis V. Sotirchos Lectureship" to honor the memory of one of its most distinguished Researchers, Professor Stratis V. Sotirchos. This Award is supported by the "Stratis V. Sotirchos Trust Fund" which has been created from donations by friends and colleagues.

The SVS Lectureship is awarded every second year to an engineer-scientist, who has produced original and fundamentally important results in some R&D field within the broader context of chemical engineering. Selection of the most deserving candidate, each time, is made on an international basis and strictly on grounds of merit. Candidates should be younger than 40 years of age on the closing date for the submission of the nominations.
Every second year (starting in 2005) the Recipient of the SVS Lectureship is invited to present the "Stratis V. Sotirchos Lecture" at the "Pan-Hellenic Scientific Conference in Chemical Engineering". This conference is held every two years (in the odd numbered years) on a rotating basis in Patras, Thessaloniki, and Athens, Greece.
This year (2017) the Conference will be held in Thessaloniki, and the SVS Lectureship is scheduled to be given on Thursday, May 25th, at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall.
