IWMA Educational Trust John C Hogg Travel Awardees coming to wire 2012 from far and wide
For many years the IWMA, through its charity, the IWMA Educational Trust Fund, has helped to promote and support trainees and students pursuing or seeking to pursue a career in the wire and cable industry. This support can take two forms: two year scholarships worth up to US$24,000 or expenses paid travel awards to attend the world’s largest and most important wire and cable trade fair, wire Düsseldorf.
The 2012 travel awards have been issued to 11 persons from around the globe, 7 men and 4 ladies. Apart from some UK-based awardees others hail from China, Taiwan, Malaysia and India. The awardees receive return flights from their home bases, accommodation in a good quality hotel in the centre of Düsseldorf, a free entrance pass and catalogue for the exhibition (courtesy of Messe Düsseldorf) and a vip ticket to the IWMA’s gala dinner during the exhibition week.
All travel awards for 2012 have now been allocated and the next ones will be available for wire Düsseldorf 2014.
