Prizes and awards 2016
Across the scientific community, talented groups and individuals are shaping the future of the chemical sciences.
For over 140 years, we’ve been acknowledging and celebrating that talent with our prizes and awards programme.
Our awards reflect the exceptional achievements and diverse nature of our community, across academia, education and industry. Winners have come from a vast range of specialisms, backgrounds, countries and communities. Many have gone on to be Nobel Laureates. All have proved that passion, excellence and dedication deserve recognition and reward.
In celebration of our 2016 prizes and awards, we have collected articles from across our journals to showcase some of the remarkable contributions made by this year’s winners.
All articles are free to access until 5th June 2016.
| Dr Robert Parker, Chief Executive of the Royal Society of Chemistry says: |
| “It is an honour to recognise the illustrious achievements of our prize and award winners in our 175th anniversary year.
“We were founded in 1841 by a group of academics, industrialists and doctors who understood the power of the chemical sciences to change our world for the better. Our winners share that vision and are advancing excellence in their fields, whether through innovative research or inspirational teaching and outreach. “We are proud to celebrate and support the work of inspiring and influential individuals, whose work has the potential to improve so many lives.” |
