Your innovation deserves recognition: submissions open for the FEICA & EURADH Adhesion Innovation Award 2027
Brussels, 9 November 2027 – FEICA and EURADH have opened submissions for the 2027 Adhesion Innovation Award, inviting young researchers working in adhesion science in Europe to submit outstanding published work by 19 March 2027 at 00:00 CET.
The joint Award is designed to stimulate interaction between industrial and scientific activities in adhesion science. It creates a platform for promising research to gain recognition among both the scientific community and the European adhesives and sealants industry.
Three prizes will be awarded. The first-place winner will receive €3,000 and a certificate, the second-place winner €1,500 and a certificate, and the third-place winner €1,000 and a certificate. For the first-place winner, participation fees for the FEICA and EURADH conferences will be waived. Travel costs for the winner and, where applicable, their supervisor will also be reimbursed, subject to prior agreement with FEICA and an overall limit of €2,000 for these additional expenses.
The first-place winner will present their work at the FEICA 2027 Conference and EXPO in Genova, Italy, from 15 to 17 September 2027, and at EURADH 2027, the 16th European Adhesion Conference, in Toulouse, France, from 3 to 5 November 2027. These presentations offer exceptional visibility across industrial and scientific environments connected to adhesion, adhesives and sealants.
Applications are invited from Master’s students, doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers, junior professors and researchers associated with universities, research institutes or companies. Submissions will be reviewed against scientific quality, impact on adhesion science and technology, the applicant’s own contribution, and the relevance of the work to areas including sustainability, circularity, society, the economy, the environment and industry.
An international scientific jury comprising adhesion experts from Europe, Japan and US will evaluate the submissions.
Applications close on 19 March 2027 at 00:00 CET. View the call and submit an application
