Malcolm Lilly Award 

In commemoration of Professor Malcolm Lilly, one of the pioneers of biochemical engineering, the ESBES Board in 2000 decided to introduce an award to be presented to a promising young scientist or engineer working in the field of biochemical engineering during the ESBES Symposium: the Malcolm Lilly Award.
This is the 5th symposium at which the award will be made and on this occasion PhD students and postdocs are invited to submit a onepage abstract for consideration to martz@dechema.de (keyword Malcolm Lilly Award)  by July 31, 2008 at the latest. The abstracts will be reviewed by a jury and shortlisted candidates (up to 5) will be selected to present an oral lecture at ESBES-7.

This prestigious award comes with a 2,000 US Dollar prize. The organisers thank Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, New Jersey/USA for their generous sponsorship. The award ceremony will take place at the closing session of the conference.
