Dear Building Simulationists:


Our campaign to raise funds for the Godfried Augenbroe Memorial Prize has managed to reach our initial target of £15k. However, we are keen to keep momentum. If your life has been touched by Fried, and you would like to support this initiative, please visit our GoFundMe campaign at: https://gofund.me/c9a1acef

For those who see this for the first time: as many of us are acutely aware, last year our friend and mentor Fried Augenbroe passed away. Since then efforts have been underway to set up a memorial prize or fund. From a survey in 2021 we collected ideas and suggestions, and concluded that the most appropriate option would be to establish a prize that supports young PhD students, as that is where Fried’s heart truly was, and this would best operate through IBPSA. We have discussed this idea with the IBPSA Awards and Fellows Committee, who fully support this initiative. The new prize will target PhD students who are still working on their thesis and who participate in the IBPSA Building Simulation Conference. We will formally establish the prize once we know how much money is available, through the Committee.

We look forward to your help to keep the memory of Fried alive.

Best regards,

Pieter de Wilde
