The Wesley Cocker Award
The Wesley Cocker Award
Professor Cocker (1908-2007) was instrumental in establishing the Irish Section of the Society of Chemical Industry in 1947. The award named in his honour is given to the best paper or patent on a topic of relevance to industrial chemistry, where the main author is a PhD or BSc student in Ireland, and is a member of the society.
The Wesley Cocker Award aims to recognise a young scientist – PhD student or younger – in the Republic of Ireland who has made a major contribution in some aspect of chemistry relevant to Irish industry.
Applications by young scientists who meet the above criteria are invited for this award. The selection will be undertaken by a panel including academics and industrialists.
The winner will receive a €500 cash prize and a year's SCI membership, paid for by the SCI All Ireland Group. The award is presented at the Group's AGM or other suitable event.
