Efficiency, productivity, reliability, safety and the environment are just some of the issues that need to be considered when developing new solutions.

We look forward to receiving an abstract (maximum 300 words – describing your project) as well as a full presentation on one of the above topics. Your abstract and presentation will be evaluated by a team of Honeywell experts and customers. Please note that English is the official language of the Honeywell Users’ Group Conference and both your abstract and presentation must be delivered in English.

What you can win: If you win the competition you will be invited to present your paper at the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Honeywell Users’ Group in 2011. You will have to man your own booth during the conference. Honeywell will assist you with the layout of the booth. Your registration fee will be waived and we will pay for your travel from your university city within Europe, Middle East and Africa to the 2011 conference, as well as paying your hotel accommodation. The contest will have one winner who will be selected from among the top entries by a committee of Honeywell experts and customers. The winner will be at the conference for 4 nights and 4 days, and will have access to all of the Users’ Group social events. Your University or High School professor or advisor will also be invited to attend the Honeywell Users’ Group and can attend one of our training courses – see detailed rules.
