RSC Fluorine Chemistry Award

The Royal Society of Chemistry Fluorine Group is delighted to announce the winner of the fourth RSC Fluorine Award, Professor Melanie S. Sanford (University of Michigan). Professor Sanford gave her Award talk as a keynote speaker at the 11th Annual Postgraduate Meeting of the Fluorine Group, which was held at the University of Aberdeen on the 8th-9th September 2011. 

The RSC Fluorine Award is presented once every two years in recognition of excellence in fluorine chemistry. The inaugural Award was awarded to Professor Norio Shibata in 2005. Professor Thomas Braun and Professor Jinbo Hu were awarded the Award in 2007 and 2009, respectively. 

The RSC Fluorine Award is generously sponsored by JRD FLUOROCHEMICALS LTD. 

The Fluorine Award is a fully international award, which is not restricted to members of the RSC. The Award recognises the most meritorious contribution of a younger chemist, working in any area of fluorine chemistry, as evinced by their published contribution. Nominations are assessed by an international committee on behalf of the RSC Fluorine Group. 

• Applicants must be nominated and should not make applications on their own behalf. 
• Nominators should send a covering letter, a Curriculum Vitae (CV) and a full publication list to Professor Véronique Gouverneur FRSC.
