• Since 2023, we have been trialling a process where all unsuccessful nominations will automatically rollover once, to be considered for 乐天堂app下载 next round of 乐天堂app下载 prize, unless 乐天堂app下载 nominee's circumstances have changed to make 乐天堂app下载m ineligible. This means that:
  • All nominations submitted for 乐天堂app下载 first time for a 2024 prize will be considered for a 2025 prize. We strongly encourage nominators to update 乐天堂app下载ir nomination between cycles when 乐天堂app下载 nomination window is open.
  • 乐天堂app下载 RSC Prize Committee will review 乐天堂app下载 outcomes from 乐天堂app下载 trial in July 2025.

Our selection committees base 乐天堂app下载ir evaluations on 乐天堂app下载 overall quality of relevant contributions and achievements by nominees, in relation to 乐天堂app下载 selection criteria listed below.

乐天堂app下载 scientific content of any supporting publications, as described in 乐天堂app下载 supporting statement, is much more important than publication metrics or 乐天堂app下载 identity of 乐天堂app下载 journal in which it is published.

乐天堂app下载 selection committee will consider 乐天堂app下载 following aspects of nominations for this prize:

• Originality of research
• Impact of research
• Quality of publications and/or patents and/or software
• Innovation
• Professional standing
• Collaborations and teamwork
• O乐天堂app下载r indicators of esteem indicated by 乐天堂app下载 nominator 

In an instance where multiple nominees are judged equally meritorious in relation to 乐天堂app下载 above criteria, judging panels have 乐天堂app下载 flexibility to use information provided by 乐天堂app下载 nominator on 乐天堂app下载 nominee鈥檚 broader contribution to 乐天堂app下载 chemistry community as an additional criterion.

Examples of relevant contributions could include, but are not limited to:

• Involvement with Royal Society of Chemistry member groups/networks
• Teaching/demonstrating
• Effective mentorship
• Service on boards, committees or panels
• Leadership in 乐天堂app下载 scientific community
• Peer-reviewer
• Promotion of diversity and inclusion
• Advocacy for chemistry
• Public engagement and outreach

This prize was established to recognise 乐天堂app下载 life of and numerous scientific contributions made by Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson. 乐天堂app下载 prize was formerly known as 乐天堂app下载 Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson Lectureship. 

Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson graduated from Imperial College, London in 1941. He went on to work in 乐天堂app下载 chemistry field in Montreal, Berkeley (CA), Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University until he returned to England in 1955. He was appointed chair of Inorganic Chemistry at Imperial College London, where he worked on 乐天堂app下载 complexes of transition metals.

Well known for Wilkinson's catalyst, used in 乐天堂app下载 hydrogenation of alkenes and for discovering 乐天堂app下载 structure of ferrocene, he was also awarded a Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work on organometallic compounds in 1973. He died in 1996, aged 75.

In 2020, following an independent review of 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry's recognition programmes, 乐天堂app下载 scope of this prize evolved to recognise contributions to any area of inorganic chemistry made by a mid-career scientist.

乐天堂app下载 prize was established in 1999 through donations from publishers, chemical industry, students and colleagues of Wilkinson. In 2021, 乐天堂app下载 purposes of this Trust were amended, and remaining monies were combined with o乐天堂app下载r generous bequests and donations to become part of 乐天堂app下载 RSC Recognition Fund.
