Several grants covering registration, hotel and travel will be awarded under the “Adopt a Scientist” sponsorship scheme. Applications are now closed and grant recipients will be informed directly by the scientific committee by the end of February.
One of the grants will be earmarked as the Cosme Argerich Memorial Award in memory of Cosme Argerich who was for many years the Chair of the ISHS Working Group Production of Vegetables for Processing and as such the Convenor of several symposia.
Young Minds Awards
Two Young Minds Awards for junior scientists (students or young scientists under the age of 35) will be given at the end of the symposium to the best oral presentation and the best poster.
A one-year complimentary membership of the ISHS and a Certificate will be awarded to the winners chosen by the Scientific Committee at the end of the symposium (see https://www.ishs.org/young-minds-award).
Bernard Bieche Memorial Award
A Bernard Bieche Memorial Award, in memory of Bernard Bieche, who was instrumental to the creation of AMITOM and WPTC and its cooperation with ISHS, will be awarded at the end of the symposium to one scientist chosen by the Scientific Committee for his whole career contribution to research for the benefit of the tomato processing sector. This award carries no financial benefit, just an engraved plaque.
