Geopolymer’ 99 International Conference, 1st July 1999, at Saint-Quentin, France.

Prof. Joseph Davidovits (left) and S.D. Fürst Hans-Adam II, Prince of Liechtenstein (2nd from right) granted five diplomas to people who greatly contributed to the development and the promotion of geopolymer science (from left to right):

  • Ing. Jean-Jacques Legrand, a pioneer from 1972 to 1982.
  • Dr. Richard Lyon (F.A.A.), for his excellent scientific articles in 1996-1998.
  • Ing. Michel Davidovics and Ing. Bruno Martin (Géopolymère S.A.), for their developments of carbon/geopolymer composites.
  • Prof. Guy Demortier (Namur University), for its perseverance and support in archaelogical reasearch since 1984.
  • Chemist Nicolas Davidovits (right) for his involvement in geopolymer manufacture since 1979.

World Congress Geopolymer 2005, 30th June 2005, at Saint-Quentin, France.

Prof. Joseph Davidovits (left) rewards four scientists in appreciation of their services to the World Congress, and their contributions to the advancement of the Geopolymer Science. The awardees are (from left to right):

  • Dr. Gilles Hug for his scientific analysis work in archaeology.
  • Dr. Roman Slavik for his work in geopolymer chemistry.
  • Prof. Vijaya Rangan for his extensive civil engineering studies with geopolymer cement.
  • Dr. Grant Lukey (together with Prof. Jannie van Deventer) for their comprenhensive studies in geopolymer chemistry for 10 years.
