Announcement and call for papers

The Organising Committee of the 13th International Drying Symposium (IDS2002) presented a special award to Professor Arun S. Mujumdar of the National University of Singapore and McGill University, Canada, for his outstanding contributions to the development of drying technology and R&D in China. This special award is sponsored by one of the largest drying equipment manufacturers of China: Shandong Tianli Drying Equipment Company Ltd. of Jinan, Shandong, China. Professor Mujumdar is the Editor-in-Chief of Drying Technology—An International Journal. Professor Mujumdar is well known in China since his first series of lectures delivered at Tianjin Institute of Light Industry (TIOLI) in 1984, just preceding IDS84 held in Kyoto, Japan. His lectures on the principles and practice of drying technologies in Tianjin were attended by faculty members from various universities as well as engineers from industries in different parts of China; his lecture notes were translated into Chinese and distributed widely. He also formulated several thesis projects in drying, which were carried out very successfully at Tianjin Institute of Light Industry, Tianjin. Later he assisted faculty at other universities and institutes in China to develop new initiatives in drying. He provided TIOLI with copies of his books, proceedings of drying conferences,
