Each year, the FSK presents an innovation award in the categories "Technology" and "Design and Construction". The prize is awarded alternately to the Foamed Plastics and Polyurethanes divisions. In 2018, the competition will be specifically for innovations in the field of foamed plastics. Applications are open until 3 September 2018 to individuals and groups from universities and companies across Europe. Submissions from junior professionals and senior professionals or companies will be evaluated and awarded separately in order to ensure a fair and appropriate assessment and according to the level of knowledge and experience.
