Another prize for Young Scientist

BT Young Scientist of the Year 2010 Richard O’Shea was awarded the Adene Special Prize for his work in the field of energy at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists in Portugal last night.

Richard, from Blarney, Co Cork, beat off stiff competition from students representing 37 countries, to win the award and a cheque for €2,500 at an awards ceremony held in Lisbon last night.

Richard’s project entitled ‘A biomass fired cooking stove for developing countries’ won him the title of BT Young Scientist & Technologist of the Year in January.
