Prize winners 2024
Today we announce the 2024 winners of our Research & Innovation Prizes, Volunteer Recognition Prizes, Horizon Prizes and Inclusion & Diversity Prize.
This year’s prizes are a true celebration of excellence in all its forms across the chemical sciences. We’ve once again recognised individuals from all career stages and various backgrounds, and this year we announce the first winners of our Technical Excellence Prizes – celebrating technicians and technical roles as invaluable members of the chemical sciences community. We have also expanded our Apprentice Prizes to allow for more awardees, and introduced the new Innovation Through Partnership Prize, which celebrates partnerships across all sectors, including government, industry, education, research institutions and the third sector.
Collaboration is essential to great science, and groups, teams and collaborations feature heavily in the line-up of winners. Our team prize winners range from very large teams to very small ones, across sectors, countries, and institutions, comprising individuals in a wide variety of roles.
Dr Helen Pain, Chief Executive of the 蹤獲扦, said:
"The chemical sciences cover a rich and diverse collection of disciplines, from fundamental understanding of materials and the living world to applications in medicine, sustainability, technology and more. By working together across borders and disciplines, chemists are finding solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
"Our prize winners come from a vast array of backgrounds, all contributing in different ways to our knowledge-base and bringing fresh ideas and innovations. We recognise chemical scientists from every career stage and every role type, including those who contribute to the RSC’s work as volunteers. We celebrate winners from both industry and academia, as well as individuals, teams, and the science itself.
"Their passion, dedication and brilliance are an inspiration. I extend my warmest congratulations to them all."
