pinfa awards
pinfa sponsors prizes for three best oral presentations on PIN Flame Retardants by young researchers
- The best paper will receive 1500 €, the runner-ups 1000 € and 500 € each
- A committee with members from pinfa companies and the scientific committee of the conference will pick the winners
- Students and researchers are eligible up to 5 years after their final academic degree (e.g. PhD)
- Criteria for being selected: exciting research on non-halogenated phosphorus, inorganic or nitrogen flame retardants with some chance of commercial implementation; covering both flame retardants performance and sustainability aspects; excellent oral presentation
We thank the pinfa for their financial support to the above mentioned awards.

Student Awards
To encourage participation in the conference from young researchers like early stage PhDs, Doctoral, Master and Bachelor Students, the organizing committee plans the following:
1) Provide travel grants for upto 6 young researchers with a maximum amount of 750 CHF per grant. This grant can be used to pay for the registration, travel or lodging costs for the confer-ence. The young researcher will also receive an official certificate from the FRPM23 organizing and scientific committee for their successful application. Thy are encouraged to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation, CV and a motivation letter. The scientific and local organizing committee will review their application and make a selection.
2) Best poster award for 6 young researchers in student (Doctoral, Master and Bachelor Students) and Post Doc. (early PhDs, upto 2 years after their doctoral thesis) category. The awardees will receive a certificate of merit, plate/ trophy and a small gift Voucher). The scientific committee of the FRPM23 conference will judge the contents of the posters and their presentation and select the awardees.
The submission of application for travel grant will start with the abstracts submission in October 2022.
For any further details please contact the local organaizing committee.
