SCNAT 2016 Chemistry Travel Award by SCNAT, SCS and SSFC

The «Platform Chemistry» of the SwissAcademy of Sciences (SCNAT) together with the Swiss Chemical Society (SCS), and the Swiss Society for Food Chemistry (SSFC) announced the «2016 Chemistry Travel Award». This program aims to support excellent PhD students in chemical sciences through sponsoring them to participate in an international conference. Students from all fields of chemistry and from any Swiss institution were invited to participate and many applications were received. The selection committee is set up with representatives of the three organisors and who are working in diverse fields of chemistry: Prof. Dr. Christian Bochet (SCS, University of Fribourg), Dr. Thomas Gude (SSFC, Swiss Quality Testing Services), Dr. Marc Suter (SCS, Eawag), and Prof. Dr. Oliver Wenger (SCNAT, University of Basel). They each reviewed and rated all of the applications (except their own students’), based primarily on the submitted conference abstract and the scientific achievements. On behalf of SCNAT, SCS and SSFC we hereby congratulate the winners and wish them a very successful conference participation. We proudly present the winners of the «2016 Chemistry Travel Award»:
