The
medal was awarded for his extraordinary contributions in the field of
Materials Science, through the creation of many new crystals and their
practical applications@by
utilizing excellent crystal techniques. He is also noted for his
academic contributions, which includes the establishment of many
conferences and symposiums in the field of Crystalline Growth and
Crystalline Materials Development.

The gJ. Czochralski Gold Medalh was established in 1999 to honor
great achievements of Prof. Jan Czochralski, who is a Polandfs
representative scientist along with Marie Curie, and is also an
internationally famous inventor of the crystal growth technique,
the gCzochralski method.h |

J. Czochralski Gold Medalh |
This
award is granted to individuals for their outstanding accomplishments in
gscience and technologyh and gpublic administrationh; its recipients are
selected by the Foundation for Materials Science Development which
consists of people in the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Up to the present, only four researchers were awarded the gJ.
Czochralski Gold Medal so far. In 2000, the Medal was awarded for its
first time to Prof. Paul Siffert for his tremendous contributions to
European science and technology research through the foundation of the
European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) in 1983, the largest
academic institute for Materials.
In 2001, Prof. Kazimierz Flaga (Poland), Rector of the Cracow University
of Technology, received his Medal. Then next, Prof. Walter Heywang
(Germany), a former Director of Siemens Corporate Research and
Development was presented his award in 2002 for great contribution in
the advancement of semiconductor materials through the further
development of the gCzochralski methodh to create silicon crystals.
Prof. Boris E. Paton, President of the National Academy of Science of
Ukraine received the award in 2006 and this year,
Prof. Fukuda became the fifth and the first Asian recipient.
Summary of the discussion
in the g2nd Polish-Japanese-German Crystal Growth Meetingh
will be
published in gYomiuri Shimbunh, one of Japanfs leading
newspapers.
