IUPAC is now seeking nominations for the 2014 CHEMRAWN VII Prize for Atmospheric and Green Chemistry. The CHEMRAWN VII Prize was first announced in August 2008 and since, has been awarded in 2010 and 2012 at the IUPAC International Conference on Green Chemistry held those years.
The Prize of USD 5 000 is granted to a young investigator (less than 45 years of age) from a developing country who is actively contributing to research in Green Chemistry and Atmospheric Chemistry. The Prize was been awarded to Noureddine Yassaa (Algeria) in 2010 and to Rashimi Sanghi (India) in 2012.
Nominations for the 2014 Prize must be submitted by 22 March 2014.
Each nomination should include a CV and two letters of support, plus a brief summary of accomplishments illustrating the contributions of the applicant to research in Green Chemistry and Atmospheric Chemistry. Complete applications should be sent to the IUPAC Secretariat by e-mail to <secretariat@iupac.org> before the submission deadline.
The Selection Committee comprises the Chair of IUPAC Committee on Chemical Research Applied to World Needs, CHEMRAWN, the President of the Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry Division, and the Chair of the Subcommittee on Green Chemistry. The next award will be presented at the 5th IUPAC International Conference on Green Chemistry, 17-21 August 2014, Durban, South Africa.
