Dear RACI Polymer Group members

The committee would like to announce a call for nominations for a number of awards proudly administered by the RACI Polymer Division. Nominations are being sought (as per the attached guidelines) for the following awards, which will be announced at MACRO2018 in Cairns, 2018.

The Batteard-Jordan Australian Polymer Medal: The highest award of the Polymer Division, is awarded for outstanding achievement in Polymer Science in Australia. (Closing date for nomination 1st September, 2017)

The David Sangster Polymer Science and Technology Achievement Award: Outstanding Australian mid-career polymer scientist (Closing date for nomination 1st September, 2017)

The Bruce Guise Award: A distinguished Australasian who has made a major contribution to industrial research in polymer science and/or technology. It is intended that a recipient will have spent a substantial part of their career in industry in Australia and/or New Zealand, and they must be a resident of one of these countries at the time of receiving the Award. (Closing date for nomination 1st September, 2017)
