About
the Young
Researchers’
Awards
Every one or two years, GERG hosts a competition which attempts to highlight the work currently being done by postgraduate students in the fi eld of gas research. These success stories serves to illustrate how a new generation of researchers is working hard to establish gas as a key enabler of a new decarbonised energy system.
The European Gas Research Group (GERG) offers Young Researchers’ Awards to early career European researchers who have displayed a commitment to excellence in scientific research and in creating solutions for the future of Energy.
The Young Researchers’ event promotes interaction between European Universities and Research Centres, on R&D topics related to Gas in the Energy system. The key objectives are: encourage a dialogue between industry practitioners and academia, raise awareness, and enhance cooperation between our different communities.
The 7th annual GERG academic event, renamed the GERG Young Researchers Prize, was held during the European Gas Technology Conference, the 27th of November in Vienna. Twenty seven contestants presented their research before the conference audience and a jury of GERG representatives. Three prizes were awarded for the top three performances. The prizes were very generously sponsored by Shell Global Solutions, and Presented by Joe Zingarelli of Shell, and the GERG President David Salisbury.
