CEC & ICMC Student Meritorious Paper Award

It has been a long standing practice of the Cryogenic Engineering Conference (CEC) and the International Cryogenic Materials Conference (ICMC) to present awards to students for outstanding work. The Student Meritorious Paper Award(s) will be presented at the conference. Each winner will receive a printed certificate and a monetary award.

The Student Meritorious Paper Award is awarded to students for outstanding work. Winners will receive a printed certificate and a monetary award.
