The Chris Bielby CO Research Award
The CO Research Trust has launched a poster competition, dedicated to the memory of former Chair, Chris Bielby MBE.
Chris sadly passed away in July 2022 after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. He was a Trustee of the CO Research Trust and was the Chair for more than ten years, remaining an active contributor despite his illness, generously sharing his insights and knowledge.
Chris spent his whole career in the gas industry, with safety being the common thread.
The CO Research Trust has launched the Chris Bielby CO Research Award to honour Chris's passion and commitment to safety and developing people. This is a poster competition, specifically aimed at researchers and academics beginning their research careers, focusing on carbon monoxide research.
Applicants are invited to submit a poster and a 250-word synopsis to illustrate their current research project.
Three finalists will be short-listed and will be invited to present their posters during the CO Research Conference on 14th June in Sheffield. The winner will be selected on the day.
For many years Chris was involved with IGEM and we are delighted to announce that IGEM has kindly co-sponsored this award in recognition of his commitment to the organisation.
