As part of the Swiss Photochemistry Symposium 2026, that took place at HEIA Fribourg, the SCS also offered the opportunity for students to present a contributed talk or a poster and honored the best contributions with the Best Contributed Talk Award and the Best Poster Presentation Award sponsored by Chemistry Europe. Dr. Richard Smith, representative of Wiley and Chemistry Europe handed over the certificates:
