For 2024, Baltimore Innovations was invited by the BZA to join several high-respected Zeolite Chemists, and last year’s winner, on a judging panel for The Founders Award; to separate five PhD submissions, in the field of Zeolite Chemistry and Innovation.
“I was happy to have been invited to participate on this year’s British Zeolite Association judging panel, for the Founder’s Award. A strong field of candidates was presented, and I look forward to congratulating the winner in July, at the BZA Annual General Meeting”-Saul Edwards, Commercial Director
About the BZA Founders’ Award:
The Founders’ Award is an award for UK-based postgraduate students working in the area of micro- or meso-porous science and celebrates the most promising PhD student of the past year.
The Award is presented each year at the BZA Annual Meeting and has been devised in honour of Alan Dyer, Barrie Lowe, Frank Leach, and Lovat Rees, who founded the BZA in 1977 while at an IZA conference in Chicago. The Award was first granted in 2011 to James Patterson (have a look at all previous winners and their projects at the bottom of this page). A scientific committee of both academic and industrial scientists assesses the applications. The award is announced prior to the BZA conference to allow the winner a reasonable amount of time to arrange their attendance at the conference to receive their award and give a talk about their PhD project.
