Best Pyrometallurgy Student Oral Presentation
About the award
The Pyrometallurgy section of MetSoc is encouraging students to participate in their symposium by granting a prize for the Best Student Oral Presentation taking place at the annual Conference of Metallurgists (COM). Students who submit an abstract for the Pyrometallurgy Symposium at COM are automatically included in this competition for their chance to win a prize of $500 CAD and a certificate.
Each Student will be required to pre-record their presentation and each oral presentation will be evaluated by the pyrometallurgy award committee. The winner will be announced at the pyrometallurgy symposium and through our website and enews announcements to the entire membership.
