IUPAC will utilize its global perspective and network to contribute to the enhancement of chemistry education, the career development of young chemical scientists, and the public appreciation of chemistry

摘要

IUPAC recognizes a particular responsibility to encourage and support young scientists throughout the world. Since the year 2000, the IUPAC Prize for Young Chemists has been awarded annually for the best Ph.D. theses in the chemical sciences. The IUPAC Prize for Young Chemists is the only international program designed to provide public and financially remunerative recognition to chemists at such early stages of their careers. Over eight years, 36 awards have been made in a highly competitive program; each award provides USD 1000 and travel expenses to present a poster and receive the award at an IUPAC Congress. In Torino in 2007, 10 young scientists (five each from 2006 and 2007) received awards for innovative research in wide-ranging areas. An additional four applicants, two each in 2006 and 2007, were awarded Honorable Mentions, in recognition of the extremely high quality of the competition.
