The Fondation Enovos has rewarded six young engineers with the "Award of Excellence" for their contributions to sustainable living.

For the seventh time, Fondation Enovos, under the auspices of the Fondation Luxembourg, together with its partners at the da Vinci and ANEIL (National Association of Luxembourg Engineering Students asbl) associations held their award ceremony for the best work of graduate engineers.

The awards ceremony took place in the presence of Jean Lucius (President of Fondation Enovos), Erik von Scholz (CEO of Enovos Luxembourg), Michel Reisch (President of ANEIL), René Winkin (Director of FEDIL) and Michel Pundel (president of the jury). The initiative aims to promote the professional studies and careers of engineers and is in line with the commitment of Fondation Enovos for the advancement of science and new technologies to improve the quality of life in a sustainable way.

An independent jury made up of 6 engineers selected students from among 15 applications to be awarded with €2,500 each for their excellence. All the winners received the mention "Very good". These were: Michel Frising for his project "Design and implementation of an apparatus for the characterisation of colour vision enhancement devices"; Claire Kox's "Seismic Performance Evaluation of Steel Moment-Resisting Frames designed with Prequalified Beam-to-Column Connections in Europe"; Bob Hoffmann and Marc Meyers' "Development of a Force-Augmenting Self-Stabilising Wheelchair to Overcome Daily-Life Obstacles";  Anouk Godelet's project "Gebäude im Materialfluss: Nachwachsende Rohstoffe in einem realisierten Gebäude in Luxemburg – eine Zukunftsperspektive?"; Leonel Pereira's "Kinetik- und Gleichgewichtsbetrachtung von Silber im SiO2-CaO-Al2O3-Schlackensystem"; Carole Binsfeld's "Thermische Behaglichkeit im automatisierten Wohnraum - Bestimmung einer behaglichen Raumlufttemperatur in Abhängigkeit der individuellen Bekleidung und Aktivität".

The seventh edition of Fondation Enovos' "Award of Excellence" ended with a networking event where aspiring engineers had the opportunity to rub shoulders with the world of renowned engineers.
