Dave Rice Research Awards

As a tribute to Dave Rice who died in 2003, International Power Sources Symposium, together with Rice’s employer Enersys and the Lead Development Association International, are sponsoring two research awards, with a cash prize and a paper to be presented at the 24th International Power Sources Symposium April 18-21, 2005, Brighton Corn Exchange, United Kingdom.

The award is to encourage young scientists in the advancement and development of lead acid batteries for applicational usage.

This idea fits well with Rice’s entrepreneurial spirit and of his outstanding contribution to the practical application of lead acid batteries. Those who were fortunate to know Dave Rice will see this as a particularly appropriate award given his dynamism – a free thinker who did so much to promote the industry.
