Abstract

IUPAC is pleased to announce the call for nominations for the IUPAC 2019 Distinguished Women in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering Awards. The purpose of the awards program, initiated as part of the 2011 International Year of Chemistry celebrations, is to acknowledge and promote the work of women in chemistry or chemical engineering worldwide. 23 women were honored during a ceremony held at the IUPAC Congress in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on 2 August 2011. At each of the subsequent IUPAC Congresses, 12 women received this recognition; in Istanbul, Turkey in 2013, in Busan, Korea in 2015, and in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A similar award ceremony will take place during the 2019 IUPAC Congress in July 2019 in Paris, France.

Awardees will be selected based on excellence in basic or applied research, distinguished accomplishments in teaching or education, or demonstrated leadership or managerial excellence in the chemical sciences. The Awards Committee is particularly interested in nominees with a history of leadership and/or community service during their careers.

Nomination

Each nomination requires a primary nominator and two secondary nominators who must each write a letter of recommendation in support of the nomination. A CV of the nominee is required. Self-nominations will not be accepted. Nominations should be received by 1 November 2018. 

Above, at the occasion of the 19th Chinese Zeolite Conference, on 26 Oct 2017, IUPAC President Qifenq Zhou presented her IUPAC 2017 Distinguished Women in Chemistry to Jihong Yu. Professor Jihong Yu from Jilin University, China received this award for her creative work on zeolitic nanoporous materials by introducing rational design and predictive chemistry in a discipline where trial-and-error methods are always commonly used as a tool.

Left, on 14 Nov 2017, the award was presented to Dr Jaqueline Kiplinger from Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA, for pioneering work in uranium and thorium chemistry and significantly expanding the broad understanding of actinide and lanthanide chemical bonding and reactivity. In Los Alamos, the award was presented by Charlie McMillan, Los Alamos National Laboratory Director (far right) and IUPAC Fellow David Moore, 2002 President of the IUPAC Analytical Chemistry Division.
