IADC Young Authors Award
One of the highlights of WODCON XX, held in Brussels last month, was the presentation of the International Association of Dredging Companies (IADC) Award for Best Paper written by a Young Author.
The award was given to Max Radermacher for his paper, ‘The Art of Screening, Effectiveness of Silt Screens’. Mr Radermacher is a PhD candidate at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
With some 400 delegates in attendance and three days of technical paper presentations in concurrent sessions, the competition for the Young Authors Award was intense. The winner was chosen with the assistance of the WODCON Paper Selection Committee chaired by Cees van Rhee, Professor of Dredging Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Marine Technology & Materials Science, Delft University of Technology. As IADC Secretary General Kolman expressed in his remarks, Mr Radermacher’s paper was selected based on his outstanding research but enhanced by “his enthusiastic presentation”.
