Submissions for this year's Model-Based Innovation (MBI) Prize close in two days' time, on 30 June. If you want to have a chance of winning the €3000 (EUR) prize or either of the two runners-up prizes of €1000 (EUR), please submit your paper in the next two days. All you need to do to be eligible for the prize is fill in the submission form at http://www.psenterprise.com/academic/mbi_prize/2010/form_mbi_prize.html and send us a copy of the published paper. BACKGROUND PSE awards prizes totalling €5000 (EUR) for the best published papers in which the gPROMS advanced process modelling software is used to generate research results in a novel area of application or technology. We offer three prizes: a winner's prize of €3000 (EUR) and two runners-up prizes of €1000 (EUR) each. The 2009 prize was won by a team from the Instituto Superior Técnico of Lisbon, Portugal comprising Raquel Durana Moita, Henrique A. Matos, Cristina Fernandes, Clemente Pedro Nunes and Mário Jorge Pinho for their paper “Dynamic modelling and simulation of a heated brine spray system”, published in Computers and Chemical Engineering in February 2009. PSE & gPROMS PSE is a pioneer in the emerging technology of Model-Based Innovation. Our gPROMS product is widely used in academic research, particularly in areas of novel technology, to provide quantification to support research results through the application of first-principles modelling. 2010 MBI prize If you used gPROMS in support of research published or to be published between 1 July 2008 and 30 June 2010, you are encouraged to submit a paper for the 2010 prize. The research presented in the paper should make substantial use of gPROMS modelling in order to achieve the results described. The judges will favour novel applications or application in novel technology areas. The prize is open to applicants from industry as well as academia. Submissions will be judged by the panel of three leading academics in the field of Process Systems Engineering: Professor Stratos Pistikopoulos (Imperial College London), Professor Rafiqul Gani (Technical University of Denmark) and Professor Michael Georgiadis (University of Western Macedonia, Greece). The prize will be awarded at the 2010 AIChE Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City. More details on the prize, including guidelines for submission, can be found on the PSE website at http://www.psenterprise.com/academic/mbi_prize/2010/index.html, along with the rules, guidelines and terms and conditions.
