Nominations open for Royal Society of Chemistry prizes and awards 2016

Submissions are now open for our annual prizes and awards, celebrating exceptional achievements across academia, education and industry.

For more than 140 years, we’ve been acknowledging and celebrating exceptional talent in the chemical sciences. This could be anything from inspiring a new generation of scientists through their teaching, to their chemical science research helping combat the global challenges we all face.

With over 60 prizes and awards for individuals, teams and organisations, we cover a breadth of diverse areas and recognition is open to all.

An illustrious list of former winners of Royal Society of Chemistry awards have gone on to win Nobel Prizes for their pioneering work, including Harry Kroto, Fred Sanger and Linus Pauling.

"Our winners are the very best in their fields, and they can be very proud to follow in the footsteps of some of the most influential and important scientists around the world", says Dr Robert Parker, Chief Executive of the Royal Society of Chemistry.

If someone you know is making an outstanding contribution to the chemical sciences, nominate them now. Nomination information and the different categories are available on our awards pages.
