The Analytical Chemistry Division of IUPAC is inviting nominations for two awards, including:

– The IUPAC Emerging Innovator Award in Analytical Chemistry – an award to recognize outstanding work undertaken by an emerging analytical scientist that corresponds to the aims of the Analytical Chemistry Division.
– The IUPAC Analytical Chemistry Medal – an award to recognize significant lifetime contribution to the aims of the Analytical Chemistry Division.

The awards are open worldwide to researchers working in the field of analytical chemistry. The Emerging Innovator Award is for researchers who are at an early stage of their independent career, as measured by the completion of a PhD within the last ten years. Appropriate consideration will be given to those who have taken a career break or followed a different study path. Nominations must be based on published works in the field of analytical chemistry. The Analytical Chemistry Medal is for researchers who have a substantial record of achievements demonstrated by the number and quality of their publications, by being actively involved in international partnerships as well as by their commitment in the training of the next generation of analytical chemists.

The 2025 awards will be presented during IUPAC’s General Assembly and World Chemistry Conference in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia, 12-18 July.  The awardees will be invited to the meeting of the Analytical Chemistry Division to receive their award and to present a lecture.

The Analytical Chemistry Division of IUPAC welcomes nominations for both awards from the world analytical chemistry community.  Nominations are accepted from September 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024.

Nomination package must include a letter of nomination and a curriculum vitae of the nominee. See specific details in the application forms (link below).

Complete applications must be received via the submission form no later than 31 December 2024.

The nomination materials for either award consist of two items.

  1. A letter of nomination, highlighting the nominee’s main achievements as appropriate for the nominee’s professional sector (academic, governmental, industrial, etc.) in research, teaching, mentoring, national, international collaborations, etc. This letter must be endorsed by at least three nominating peers from different countries.
  2. A curriculum vitae of the nominee which includes the nominee’s achievements in education, career, main publications, teaching, mentoring and supervisory activities, memberships, elected position in learned societies, awards received and any other relevant information demonstrating extraordinary contribution to IUPAC’s mission in analytical chemistry.
