The following outstanding researchers were awarded the EuChemS Division of Organic Chemistry Young Investigator Award
2024
Dr. Aurélien De La Torre from the Institut de Chimie Moléculaire et des Matériaux d’Orsay in France has been chosen as the recipient of the Young Investigator Award for 2024 for his work on the total synthesis of natural products and the development of synthetic methodologies involving cascade reactions, rearrangements and cycloadditions
2023
Oliver Dumele (Humboldt University Berlin) for his contributions to the fields of supramolecular materials, aromatic macrocycles and photoswitches
2022
Anat Milo (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel) for her development of experimental, computational, and statistical strategies to identify design principles behind molecular functionality, reactivity, and selectivity
2021
Mónica Pérez-Temprano (Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ), Catalonia, Spain) for her contribution to the U3D goal (Understand, Discover, Design and Develop), novel and more efficient transition metal-catalyzed reactions
