IUPAC 2013 Distinguished Women in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering - Call for nominations
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is pleased to announce the call for nominations for the IUPAC 2013 Distinguished Women in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering Awards.
The purpose of the awards program, initiated as part of the 2011 International Year of Chemistry celebrations, is to acknowledge and promote the work of women chemists/chemical engineers worldwide. In 2011, 23 women were honored during a ceremony held at the IUPAC Congress in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on 2 August 2011 sponsored by a challenge grant from the American Chemical Society and also support from Dow Chemical.* A similar award ceremony will take place during the 2013 IUPAC Congress in August 2013 in Istanbul, Turkey.
Awardees will be selected based on excellence in basic or applied research, distinguished accomplishments in teaching or education, or demonstrated leadership or managerial excellence in the chemical sciences. The Awards Committee is particularly interested in nominees with a history of leadership and/or community service during their careers.
In case you consider submiting a nomination please do not hesitate to contact EuCheMS concerning possible support letter.
The EuCheMS Executive Board will review all nominations sent by 31 March 2013 to , and after being approved, issue a support letter and made the final submission to IUPAC.

New: European Union Women Innovators prize
The European Commission has announced a new prize to give public recognition to the very best women innovators who have brought their outstanding achievements to market.Understanding Current Causes of Women's Underrepresentation in Science
Explanations for women's underrepresentation in math-intensive fields of science often focus on sex discrimination. More recent and robust empiricism, however, fails to support assertions of discrimination in these domains.Read more: Understanding Current Causes of Women's Underrepresentation in Science
Chemistry Europe Travel Grant Helps Young Chemists Go Abroad
Early-career researchers in chemistry now have a new chance to expand their international experience. The Chemistry Europe Travel Grant, first launched in 2024 and updated in 2025, offers €2,000 to support research stays of one to two months in another country.
The grant aims to build global scientific networks and help young scientists grow their careers through collaboration abroad. Eligible applicants must have earned their PhD at least two years ago, be a member of a Chemistry Europe society, and plan to conduct research in a country different from their current one.
Applications are open from July until November 1, 2025. To apply, candidates must submit their CV, a motivation letter outlining their project and host lab, and a list of five key publications through their national Chemistry Europe society. Selection will be based on the scientific quality and feasibility of the proposed project.
Among the past recipients is Attila Kormányos, a Senior Researcher from the University of Szeged in Hungary and a member of the Magyar Kémikusok Egyesülete (MKE), who was awarded the Chemistry Europe Travel Grant Certificate. The picture shows Péter Szalay, President of MKE with his certificate.
