Award Background
The European Process Safety Centre is an independent organisation established by EFCE and CEFIC in order to promote best practice in process safety across Europe. Each year EPSC acknowledges progress to a less hazardous Europe with the presentation of an EPSC Award to either an individual or team. The contribution may be in the form of a project, report, published paper, conference paper or book which, in the consideration of the EPSC Award panel, has considerably advanced the theory or practice of process safety.
EPSC views the originality of nominations as of paramount importance and the key defining characteristic of scholarly work. Originality is to be interpreted broadly. One common form of scholarship is the discovery of new knowledge, which may take on many different forms and includes the generation of new concepts, ideas, principles and theorems. Another form of scholarship is the innovative coordination, synthesis or integration of knowledge. This type of scholarship seeks and promotes understanding in a broader context, by organising knowledge in a new and useful way, by illustrating new relationships between the parts and the whole, by relating the past in a new way to the present and future, or by demonstrating new and significant patterns of meaning.
