AWARDS
Hugh M. Huffman Memorial Award
Hugh M. Huffman (1899-1950), one of the founders of the Calorimetry Conference, was a leader in the field of heat capacity measurements. This award honors individuals who, through their lifelong research accomplishments, emulate the creativity and care that Huffman demonstrated in his work. Candidates shall have made long-term contributions to thermodynamics involving thermochemistry and/or calorimetry. The Huffman award consists of $1000 and waived Conference registration fee. The award address is published in
The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics.

James J. Christensen Award for Innovations in Calorimetry
The Christensen Award was established in 1988 to honor James J. Christensen (1931-1987) of Brigham Young University. It is presented to a scientist who has made outstanding innovative contributions to the development and use of calorimetric instrumentation. The Christensen Award consists of $1000 and waived Conference registration fee.

Stig Sunner Memorial Award
The Sunner Award honors the memory of Stig Sunner (1917-1980) of Lund University. It recognizes the research contributions of young scientists to thermodynamics and thermochemistry and is restricted to individuals 40 years of age or younger. The Sunner Award consists of $1000 and waived Conference registration fee.
2008 Award Recipient
Asst. Prof. Yasuhisa Yamamura
Department of Chemistry
Graduate School of Pure and Applied Sciences

William F. Giauque Travel Awards
Professor Giauque (1895 – 1982) received the 1949 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his contributions in thermodynamics, which included measurements on crystals confirming the Third Law and the invention of adiabatic demagnetization. Giauque trained a legion of students, who subsequently helped to establish and promote calorimetry in academia, government labs, and industry. The Giauque Travel Awards are intended to encourage student participation in the Conference. Recipients must attend the entire conference and deliver an oral presentation on their research. The awardees each receive $500.
