Funding for the paper prizes is provided by a bequest from Sir Bernard, administered by Engineers Ireland.

This year's symposium was hosted in Belfast by the School of Engineering, Ulster University on 17th and 18th April 2019. The winners were selected on the basis of scientific and technical content, innovative approach, industrial relevance and presentation. A technical paper was prepared and presented by each candidate participating.
