Ron Cockcroft Award - RCA

 

 

The RCA is a merit-based programme to promote international awareness of developments in research in wood protection, by providing assistance towards travel and accommodation costs to selected persons enabling them to participate in IRG conferences. The RCA is intended primarily to assist post-graduate research students and active younger scientists, who, for financial reasons might otherwise be unable to attend an IRG conference. It is available to members and non-members.    An RCA can only be granted once, and no present or former members of any IRG Committee may apply for the RCA.

The Ron Cockcroft Award was developed in recognition of the works and contributions to the IRG of Ron Cockcroft, who for many of the formative years of the IRG was the organisation's Secretary-General, initially when the IRG was based in the UK, and later in Sweden.
