George Stephanopoulos receives the 2025 Nordic Process Control Award. 

The Nordic Process Control Award is given for lasting and significant contributions to the field of process control. 
The 20th recipient of the Nordic Process Control Award is Professor George Stephanopoulos from MIT and presently also at Arizona State University. 
He receives the award in recognition of his groundbreaking work on process control education, plantwide control, interaction between design and control, and intelligent control.  
The award was presented to Professor Stephanopoulos during the 25th Nordic Process Control Workshop held in Helsinki in Finland on the 16th of January 2025.
The title of his very inspiring award lecture was "Stories from Process Systems Engineering by an Unindoctrinated Academic".
