Abstract

The call for the 2024 IUPAC—Solvay International Award for Young Chemists is open!

The IUPAC-SOLVAY International Award for Young Chemists is intended to encourage outstanding young research scientists at the beginning of their careers. The awards are given for the most outstanding Ph.D. theses in the general area of the chemical sciences, as described in a short essay. The award is generously sponsored by Solvay.

Each year, IUPAC awards up to five prizes. Each prize consists of a USD $1000 cash award and up to USD $1000 towards travel expenses to attend the next IUPAC Congress, where the awards will be presented. In keeping with IUPAC’s status as a global organization, effort is made to ensure fair geographic distribution of prizes.

Your PhD must be from an institution based in an IUPAC member country/territory.
Your PhD must be in the field of chemical sciences: “chemistry and those disciplines and technologies that make significant use of chemistry.”All entries are due before 15 February 2024 and can be submitted online.

What does the entry include?

A 6000-character essay describing the thesis work in 6000 characters and placed in the context of the broader research field in the chemical sciences. The essay must be written in English.
