Be it with respect to production or Research and Development, knowledge of phase diagrams can lead to innovation giving a technological/economic edge with subsequent benefits to society as a whole. The APDIC Industrial award aims to reward organisations who can show the benefit of using Phase Diagrams in their day-to-day business.
The APDIC Industrial Award is presented to the organisation who, in the opinion of the Industrial Awards Committee, has shown their application of phase diagrams and/or computational thermodynamics in their production and research and development.
Only one candidate will be awarded per year. The Industrial Award Committee of APDIC may decide not to give an award in a particular year. The Award will be given for the first time in October 2003.
APDIC Representatives may nominated candidate for the award to the AIA Committee. Election and appointment of the Award Winners is by the APDIC Industrial Award Committee.
At the first APDIC World Round Robin Seminar the APDIC Industrial Award 2003 was presented to Nippon Steel Corporation, who successfully and with great skills employed Phase Diagrams and Thermodynamics to strengthen its technological position.
