Brian Ellis wins an Outstanding Service Award at the Literati Awards for Excellence 2003
We are delighted to announce that Brian Ellis, Internet Editor of Circuit World, Microelectronics International and Soldering & Surface Mount Technology, has been awarded an Outstanding Service Award at this year's Literati Awards for Excellence (see www.emeraldinsight.com/literaticlub for further details).
Brian founded the Protonique Group in Switzerland in 1975. The Group addresses the environmental impact of the electronics industry. After ratifying the Montreal Protocol, the Swiss Government invited Brian to represent them on a UN Committee to help phase out ozone-depleting solvents. He chaired the electronics section for 12 years. He has also been commissioned by two other UN organisations. In 1994, Protonique S.A. was one of the first Swiss corporations to have an Internet Web site, written entirely by Brian in HTML code. This mixture of experience led to his being asked to write the regular Internet commentaries in the above Emerald journals. He has received awards from UNEP, US EPA, IPC, and in 1999 he won the Literati Internet Editor of the Year Award. A prolific writer, Brian has written three books, co-authored several more and presented over 200 technical papers throughout the world.
Emerald would like to thank Brian for his long-standing support and consistently high contributions to Circuit World, Microelectronics International and Soldering & Surface Mount Technology.
