2026 IUPAC-Solvay International Award for Young Chemists—Call for Applicants
Abstract
In July 2025, ten Young Chemists were recognized with the IUPAC-Solvay International Award during the opening of IUPAC 2025 Congress in Kuala Lumpur. The awards were presented on a grand stage by IUPAC President Professor Ehud Keinan and Solvay representative Ajay Khandkar. Who will be the next Awardees recognized in Montreal in 2027? Could it be you?
About the Award
The IUPAC–Solvay International Award for Young Chemists recognizes and encourages exceptional young researchers at the start of their careers. The award celebrates the most outstanding Ph.D. theses in the chemical sciences, as described in a short essay by the candidate.
Each year, up to five prizes are awarded. Each prize includes:
USD 1 000 cash award
Up to USD 1 000in travel support to attend the next IUPAC Congress
An invitation to present a poster at the Congress, participate in a plenary award session, and submit a review article to Pure and Applied Chemistry
The awards are generously sponsored by Solvay. IUPAC takes care to ensure a fair geographic distribution of prizes, reflecting its global mission.
For this round, the awards will be presented at the 2027 IUPAC Congress, taking place in Montreal, Canada (8–16 July 2027).
Who Can Apply?
You are eligible if:
You completed your Ph.D. in 2025, including the defense.
Your Ph.D. was granted by an institution in an IUPAC member country/territory.
Your research is in the chemical sciences: chemistry and disciplines or technologies that make significant use of chemistry.
How to Apply
Applications must be submitted online only.
Deadline: 15 February 2026
