2022 Testing Innovation Fellowship Program Award Winners
IGS North America congratulates the winners of 2022 awards for a new fellowship program. Jointly supported by the Geosynthetic Institute (GSI), IGS North America, and ASTM Committee D35 on Geosynthetics, the program is aimed at transitioning geosynthetics-related research to ASTM International standards and to increasing student engagement in our professional organizations. These goals align with the combined missions of GSI, IGS-NA, and ASTM to develop and transfer knowledge, geosynthetic technologies, and testing standards to positively impact education, public health and safety, consumer confidence, and overall quality of life.
