for Young Chemists

One
of the innovations that came out of the project to define
IUPACs goals, and that has been reemphasized in the
recent update of those goals, was to establish an IUPAC Prize
for Young Chemists. This prize, which requires applicants
to submit a précis of their Ph.D. thesis together with
two supporting recommendations from senior chemists with whom
they have worked, is judged by a panel of chemists from around
the world. The panel is chaired by the incumbent past president
of IUPAC.
The
first recipients received their prizes at the IUPAC Congress
in Brisbane (July 2001). Starting in 2002, winners have been
invited to contribute short review articles to Pure and Applied
Chemistry based upon their work. The November 2002 issue of
PAC features a collection of invited, peer-reviewed articles
by the following winners of the 2002 IUPAC Prize for Young
Chemists:
- Jeroen
J. L. M. Cornelissen, University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands
(currently at IBM Almaden Research Center, San Jose, CA)
-
Jinsang Kim, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston,
MA, USA (currently at the California Institute of Technology,
Pasadena, CA)
-
Stefan Lorkowski, University of Münster, Germany
-
Simi Pushpan, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India
The
prize has been developed further and at the 2003 Congress
in Ottawa, not only will the prize winners be present (as
part of their prize), but they will be exhibiting posters.
