Abstract: The Jury for the 2003 Robert L'Hermite Medal selected was Dr.
Robert Johann Flatt, in recognition of his work on cement and concrete technology.
He has demonstrated original approach and independence for fundamental studies of issues which are relevant to cement and concrete technology.
In particular he should be noted for his contributions to the basic understanding of the mechanisms of dispersants in concretes.
His scientific work added valuable insight into chemical effects of dispersants and their impact on physical characteristics of particle interactions and rheology.
His studies are highly valuable from a basic point of view and are bound to have practical implications.
