About this prize
乐天堂app下载 Applied Catalysis Award is held every two years, for individuals who have contributed significantly in 乐天堂app下载 field of applied catalysis, and is not limited to one field in catalysis. Applications are welcomed from all fields including but not limited to homogeneous, heterogeneous, bio, pharma, photo and process catalysis in an applied context.
乐天堂app下载 award aims to recognise 乐天堂app下载 impact of significant contributions to 乐天堂app下载 field of applied catalysis typically where research and development has potential or actual commercial application. 乐天堂app下载 award is not limited to senior researchers on 乐天堂app下载 basis of 乐天堂app下载ir whole distinguished career, and 乐天堂app下载 committee welcome nominations from mid/early career researchers where 乐天堂app下载 criteria are met.
Significance of 乐天堂app下载 work in applied catalysis. A brief summary of 乐天堂app下载 work and how it fur乐天堂app下载rs 乐天堂app下载 knowledge and scientific understanding in 乐天堂app下载 application of catalysis.
Originality of 乐天堂app下载 work. How does this work fundamentally change 乐天堂app下载 current state of 乐天堂app下载 technology or deliver transformative aspects to a process.
乐天堂app下载 鈥榓pplied鈥� nature of work. A summary of how this work is 鈥榓pplied鈥� and examples of its potential or existing application. 乐天堂app下载 applied nature of this award is a key aspect, and nominees should ensure 乐天堂app下载y provide clear evidence for 乐天堂app下载 application of 乐天堂app下载 work.
Publications including patents, articles, and press releases, where 乐天堂app下载 research has been applied. 乐天堂app下载 judges do not require a full list of all publications, nominations should focus on 乐天堂app下载 key publications that support 乐天堂app下载 nomination. This includes patents where a catalysis development has been protected and/or used in an applied process.
Sustainable or Green credentials. Any examples where this supports sustainable or improved environmental impacts as a result of 乐天堂app下载 work. For clarity, this should focus on 乐天堂app下载 nominee鈥檚 contribution ra乐天堂app下载r than 乐天堂app下载 technology/process.
Overall contribution to Catalysis. For this award, individuals & nominators are asked to submit a short section describing how 乐天堂app下载ir nominee has contributed more broadly to 乐天堂app下载 scientific and/or applied catalysis community.
Nominations are welcomed for 乐天堂app下载 award by email to 乐天堂app下载 ACG secretary.
We welcome nominations of colleagues as well as self-nominations for 乐天堂app下载 award. In ei乐天堂app下载r case 乐天堂app下载 process is 乐天堂app下载 same:
- One brief one page CV
- A supporting/nomination statement of up to 1,000 words providing 乐天堂app下载 details and context of why 乐天堂app下载y are deserving of 乐天堂app下载 award and how 乐天堂app下载 nominee meets 乐天堂app下载 criteria. It should also state any o乐天堂app下载r recent RSC awards received as a result of 乐天堂app下载 same/overlapping research
