It includes a prize amount of one thousand Euros, the EuChemS Walter Thiel medal, and an invitation to present an article on the award-winning research in Chemistry – A European Journal.
The Laureate will present a keynote lecture as part of the Award Ceremony taking place at this conference (see Program).
The winner of the EuChemS Walter Thiel Award is Prof. Sandra Luber.
Award Sponsors: The EuChemS Walter Thiel award is sponsored by the Chemistry Europe, the GDCh, the SCS and by the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohleforschung.
Walter Thiel was one of the world’s leading European theoretical chemists of the late 20th and early 21st century. He was among those who realized the potential of theoretical and computational chemistry, not only to predict and understand a great variety of phenomena in chemistry, physics and biochemistry, but also to establish the route toward the exploration of new processes and provide the answers to many of the questions that challenge our understanding of the world around us. At the same time, Walter was a great scientist, an outstanding personality with great sensibility and enormous respect for others. It is Walter’s vision of science and his spirit that our award shall promote.
