Best Presentation Award Program

For generations, the SCS Fall Meeting has provided young chemists from Swiss universities and the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology with a unique platform to showcase their research to the scientific community.

Awards are presented for the best oral and the best poster contributions in each thematic session, based on the recommendations of independent award juries. Evaluations are based on scientific quality, originality, and impact of the research, as well as clarity and effectiveness of the presentation.

Among the most generously endowed awards of their kind, these distinctions highlight outstanding scientific achievement. The Awards Ceremony, held at the conclusion of the Fall Meeting, is a longstanding highlight of the event.

Financed by the Metrohm Foundation (Metrohm Stiftung), the prize is awarded for the two best short presentations in each parallel session. The winner receives a CHF 1’000 Travel Award, a cash prize of CHF 500, and an invitation to present the award-winning research in the Laureates Isssue (04) of CHIMIA.

The runners-up receive a cash prize of CHF 400.

The runners-up receive a cash prize of CHF 200.
