The Charles Massonnet Award
In 1998, the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS) created the "Charles Massonnet Award" to recognize a prominent scientist who highly contributed to the advancement of scientific and technical support to constructional steelwork, and who had worked or is working in a Technical Committee of ECCS as a Full Member or as a Chairman or a Secretary of one of the mentioned committees. It is presented every year.
This Award had been named for Professor Charles Massonnet to keep his memory. Indeed, Professor Charles Massonnet was an eminent expert and academic, but also one of the most leading personalities members of ECCS who contributed to the promotion of the use of steel in construction through his work and his tuition in stability, plasticity and strength of materials.
Born on 14 April 1914 in Arlon, in the Belgian Province of Luxembourg, Professor Charles Massonnet was a scientist of national level (professor at the University of Liège, Belgium) as well as of international level (Doctor Honoris Causa at the Technology University of Göteborg, in Sweden, the Federal Polytechnical School of Zürich, in Switzerland, Associate Member of the National Academy of Engineering of the United States of America, Foreign Member of the Polish Academia of Sciences). Professor Charles Massonnet passed by on 4th April 1996.
The Charles Massonnet Award is presented in principle every year by an ECCS member association.
The nominated person will be proposed to the executive board by the nomination committee and will be submitted to the vote at the spring meeting of the executive board at a simple majority of the members present.
The Charles Massonnet award consists of a plaque bearing the name of the recipient, the date, and mention of ECCS.
