THE AIM
The many challenges facing our navies continue to demand ever more resourceful solutions and approaches.  INEC 2008 will embrace the operation, future design, integration and support of vessels in the naval environment. It will explore the balance between evolving current practice, revolutionary or novel alternatives and practical experience. In particular, INEC 2008 is looking to capitalise on the benefits from commercial experience. This year, papers are sought that merit consideration for The Sir Donald Gosling Award.

The Sir Donald Gosling Award*
The Sir Donald Gosling Award is a very welcome addition to INEC. Sir Donald has long been a very strong supporter of the Royal Navy and his new award is targeted at authors under the age of 40. The award aims to encourage involvement and attendance from younger participants from the military, industry and academia, allowing them to demonstrate a fresh and imaginative approach, together with ingenuity, in delivering a practical proposal, together with ingenuity, in delivering a practical proposal which contributes to improved future naval operations or support.

The award ceremony will take place on the final day; there will be three prizes, a first prize of £5,000; a second prize of £2,500; and a third of £1,500.
