Appreciation of good work always pays off. The Lezing Group has been promoting young scientists by acknowledging their efforts for fibers and textiles in diverse categories. This year, Lenzing has again announced the awards. Applicants for the Young Scientist Award can submit their work (final-year projects, papers etc.) in English between December 09, 2022, and July 16, 2023, to the e-mail address: YSA2023@lenzing.com. Each winning project will receive a prize of EUR 5,000.
The Lenzing Group, a world-leading provider of specialty fibers for the textile and nonwoven industries, is set to present the Young Scientist Award for outstanding research in fibers and textiles again in 2023. Bachelor’s and master’s degree students will be able to submit their scientific work in the categories of fashion and circularity, textile recycling, and the innovative use of bio-based fibers to a jury of well-known industry experts.
The jury consists of Karla Magruder (Founder of Acceleration Circularity), Friedericke von Wedel-Parlow (Beneficial Design Institute Berlin), and Dieter Eichinger (Head of Standardization and Innovation, Secretary-General of BISFA).
All winning projects will be duly awarded a cash prize at the 62nd Dornbirn Global Fiber Congress (GFC), organized by the Austrian Fibers Institute, and will take place from September 13 to 15, 2023. The Institute focuses on issues relating to the future, such as fiber innovations, sustainability, and circularity, which will also be on the agenda at the GFC. The Young Scientist Award aims to promote the students’ work and create a platform for networking with the textile and fiber industry.
