The final winner was Olaf Pung. One jury member judged: "The submitted paper on the testing of reactive methacrylate adhesives for the restoration of museum stone objects is convincing due to the clearly presented background of the test methods and the sophisticated sample preparation. The tests are very well described and comprehensible. Failure analysis is included in an exemplary manner."
