FEICA, the Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry, launches the fourth edition of the Adhesion Innovation Award. The Award for Innovative Adhesion Science aims to raise awareness of the outstanding contribution the industry’s innovators make towards a circular economy.
Kristel Ons, FEICA’s Secretary General, stated, ‘With the Adhesion Innovation Award (AIA), FEICA supports sustainable innovations within the European adhesive and sealant industry. The alliance between FEICA and EURADH provides Europe with academic innovations in adhesive bonding with an immediate contribution to sustainability and society. For this fourth edition, FEICA has included second and third prizes to further support young researchers contributing to the sustainable goals of the adhesive and sealant industry’.
The fourth edition of the FEICA/EURADH Adhesion Innovation Award focusses on sustainability, durability and industrial applications.
