Deadline for nominations is April 30, 2023.
Since 2000, the GDCh Environmental Chemistry & Ecotoxicology Division has awarded a prize for an outstanding scientific publication by young scientists in the field of environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology. The prize was named in 2011 after Paul J. Crutzen, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1995 for his work on research into the hole in the ozone layer. The award is usually presented annually and comes with an award certificate, prize money of 1,000 euros and one year's free membership of the specialist group.
Objective
The Division of Environmental Chemistry & Ecotoxicology of the German Chemical Society (GDCh) usually awards the Paul-Crutzen Award once a year in recognition of an outstanding publication by young scientists in the field of environmental chemistry/ecotoxicology in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
The price
The award includes a certificate of award, prize money of 1000 euros donated by the Division of Environmental Chemistry & Ecotoxicology and one-year free membership in the Division.
