The Adhesion Society Student Awards

 

Two types of student awards are given every year, the Peebles Awards for Graduate Student Research in Adhesion Science and the Alan Gent Distinguished Student Paper Award.

Any student who is past the first year of graduate study and who will be enrolled in graduate school at the time of the annual meeting and who has not received a student award previously is eligible to compete.


Peebles Award for Graduate Student Research in Adhesion Science (Sponsored by Henkel)

The first type of student award is the Peebles Award for Graduate Student Research in Adhesion Science. Several of these are given each year. The selection of awardees is based on abstracts submitted as contributions to the Annual Meeting . These awardees will receive partial support to attend the meeting, and will present their paper at an oral symposium with the other award winners.

The amount of support will not exceed the lesser of US $750 or one-half of the student’s expenses for attending the meeting. In addition to this support, registration fees for the short course and the meeting will be waived for the Peebles Award winners.  The deadline for submitting short abstracts is the same as that of the general meeting (August 15 in 2008), and long abstracts are due one month sooner than the general deadline.  For submission details, please download the STUDENT AWARD COMPETITION file.
