In collaboration with the Metrohm Foundation, SCS offered again the very attractive and prestigious Fall Meeting Best Oral Presentation Award program. Combined with the Best Poster Presentation Awards program this is probably the most highly remunerated award program in the field, and we are very proud and happy to cooperate with our sponsoring partners. We wish to express our sincere gratitude to Metrohm for their generous support and congratulate all winners for their fantastic contributions.
Markus Steinke, Executive Vice President Marketing at Metrohm awarded a total of 17 winners at the end of the SCS Fall Meeting 2026 on August 28, 2026. You can find all winner photos and many more pictures of the event on the event website.
