The European Powder Metallurgy Association has organized a Powder Metallurgy Thesis Competition, at both Masters and Doctorate levels, every two years since 1994, and annually since 2016.
This year, the thesis competition is sponsored by HILTI.
The aim of the competition is to develop interest in and to promote powder metallurgy among young scientists at European academic institutions and to encourage research at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
This competition is open to all graduates of a European University whose theses have been officially accepted or approved by the applicant's teaching establishment during the previous three years.
Theses, which must be classified under the topic of Powder Metallurgy, are judged by an international panel of PM experts, drawn from both academia and industry.
Winners are awarded the following:
- prizes of €500 and €1,000 for Masters and Doctorate levels respectively
- complimentary registration to the Euro PM2025 Congress & Exhibition courtesy of EPMA
