Healy–Hunter Award

    The Healy–Hunter Award honours the founders of the Australasian Colloid and Surface Science Student Conference; Professor Tom Healy (The University of Melbourne) and Professor Bob Hunter (University of Sydney), who first organised such a conference in 1967. The conferences have been held regularly since this time. 

    The Award highlights and recognises the most outstanding student oral presentation at the conference by a student enrolled in a PhD for more than 2 years (full time equivalent). It consists of a commemorative medal and a contribution of $2500 towards the travel costs of attending an international conference. Students must be enrolled at an Australian or New Zealand university to be eligible for this award.

    Guidelines

    A number of staff attending the student conference will be chosen to be on the selection panel, chaired by the ACIS Awards Committee chair. In judging the award, staff consider the quality of science, oral/visual skills, and construction and flow of the presentation. In the event of a tie in the voting, the selection panel chair (or nominee) will have the casting vote. The award can be won only once by any individual.


    Eligibility

    Students must be enrolled in a PhD for more than 2 years (full time equivalent) at an Australian or New Zealand university to be eligible for this award.
