Malcolm McIvor was one of the key people in ICI who
helped establish CPACT in 1997 and played a prominent role in PhD supervision
during the early stages of CPACT’s activities.
Malcolm enjoyed his engagement with CPACT and has
generously endowed a prize that he wished to be awarded annually. The nominee
should be a registered PhD student at a CPACT University or an early career

The prize will
seek to recognise an individual’s excellence in terms of academic achievement,
creative thinking or engagement between academia and industry. The
value of the prize will be £1,000.
