The symposium will also cover a topic of a higher education, especially a term paper writing. The vast majority of local students buy term papers online because of disability to conduct researches on their own. This issue is aimed to be analyzed deeply.

One of the highlights of the symposium is the Conference Awards Banquet, where individuals are recognized for their contributions to electromagnetic launch technology. Nominations are solicited for the Peter Mark Medal and the Peter Kemmey Memorial Student Scholarship Award.

Nominations are due by: January 15, 2010. Nominate someone here.

Peter J. Kemmey Memorial Student Scholarship

This scholarship was established as a tribute to the memory of the late Dr. Peter J. Kemmey, whose ideas and pioneering vision contributed to the broad EML initiative that began in the late 1970s, and the establishment of the EML Symposium shortly thereafter. This scholarship will cover transportation, lodging and registration fees for the symposium, up to $2,000 per student.

Peter Mark Medal

The Peter Mark Medal, initiated in 1983, is named in honor of the late Professor Peter Mark, solid-state physicist and electrical engineer from Princeton University whose enthusiasm, intelligence, and vision helped contribute to the initiation of the U.S. program on electromagnetic launch technology. In addition to his participation in the development of the initial proposal to the Department of Defense, Professor Mark's early contributions as one of the founding members of the U.S. National Advisory Panel on Electromagnetic Guns and Launchers and his technical insight provided inspiration and direction for the emerging research program.
