Lilly Awards 2016-2017

Eli Lilly Award for Excellence in Process & Chemical Engineering

Recipients 2016-2017

The awards were held in the Aula Maxima, UCC on Wednesday 23rd November 2016 as part of the Inaugural Process & Chemical Engineering Awards Night.

Darragh McDonagh, Team Leader-Process Engineering at Eli Lilly presented the awards. Noel Henderson, Personnel Representative, Martin Boyle Team Leader-Biotech Process Engineering and Tracey Tomchick, Business Leader for Engineering at Eli Lilly were also in attendance. 

The Department of Process & Chemical Engineering is greatly indebted to Eli Lilly for their continuous sponsorship of the awards. It is a fantastic opportunity to reward young Engineering students for their efforts - both academic and personal. 

*In 2007-8 a new award was created which will be presented only when it is felt that a given student has excelled such as to merit its conferring, and therefore this award may not be necessarily awarded every year. This award is presented to a student who has excelled in developing or fostering the development of a special aspect of the department/discipline:- 
  
"Outstanding Contribution to the Development of Process & Chemical Engineering"  
 

In 2016-17 it was again decided to make this award. It was presented to Peter Kelleher for his exceptional contribution to promoting the programme and the department by organising trips to the Frank Morton Chemical Engineering Sports Day in Manchester and the Irish FM event in Belfast in 2016.
