Royal Society of Chemistry Prizes and Awards 2015

Every year we recognise those who are advancing excellence across the chemical sciences through our Prizes and Awards programme.

From researchers to teachers and entrepreneurs; whether at the start of a career in the chemical sciences or having served our community for a number of years, we want to celebrate and reward those who make a lasting contribution.

Dr Robert Parker, chief executive of the Royal Society of Chemistry said: “It is always a pleasure to recognise excellence in the chemical sciences and I am pleased to acknowledge the illustrious achievements of our prize and award winners this year.

“Whether they work in research, industry or academia, 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. 

“In a complex and changing world, chemistry and the chemical sciences are vital in responding to some of humanity’s biggest challenges and our prize and award winners are at the forefront of meeting that challenge.”
