Professor Aldman was a pioneer in the field of injury biomechanics and was particularly interested in the response of the chest during impact leading to ground-braking research to improve seatbelts and automobile airbags. Professor Aldman died in 1998.<br \/>\nThe Bertil Aldman Lecturer may be either a relatively young researcher who has a substantial track record of accomplishments or an experienced, mature researcher who, in addition to a successful research career, can give an overview of a particular subject relevant to IRCOBI topics.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ircobi.org\/wordpress\/awards-ircobi-europe\/past-awardees\/#BAL\">Past Lecturers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"IKNL\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>IRCOBI Keynote Lecture<\/h3>\n<p>The IRCOBI Keynote is a special lecture to highlight a particular topic of interest to the IRCOBI conference delegates.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ircobi.org\/wordpress\/awards-ircobi-europe\/past-awardees\/#IKNL\">Past Lecturers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"MMYRA\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Murray Mackay Young Researcher Award for Best Paper<\/h3>\n<p>The Murray Mackay Young Researcher Award shall encourage young researchers to make research contributions to the field of crash injury research, biomechanics and vehicle safety.
