The DKG-VKI Industrial Innovation Award honours ceramists or teams working in the industry. The award recognises pioneering R&D work in connection with industrial projects or joint projects (e.g. IGF, BMWK, etc. projects) that have led to ceramic products or manufacturing processes with a significant degree of novelty and potential for commercialisation.
The prize consists of a certificate and a sum of money (approx. 1000 €) as well as an invitation to give a lecture at the next annual conference. The prize will be announced via the cfi/Ber. of the DKG.
A maximum of 3 prizes of the "DKG-VKI Industrial Innovation Award" will be awarded per year according to the decision of the DKG board on the occasion of the KERAMIK 20xx/DKG annual conference.
