The Prize of USD 5000 is granted to a young investigator (less than 45 years of age) from an emerging region who is actively contributing to research in Green Chemistry. The Prize has been awarded to Noureddine Yassaa (Algeria) in 2010, Rashimi Sanghi (India) in 2012,  Vania G. Zuin (Brazil) in 2014, and Ali Maleki (Iran) in 2016.

Nominations for the 2018 Prize must be submitted by 31 March 2018.

Each nomination should include a CV and two letters of support, plus a brief summary of accomplishments illustrating the contributions of the applicant to research in Green Chemistry. Examples of research topics that are covered by the prize include:

  • – Atmospheric Chemistry
  • – Use of Alternative Feedstocks
  • – Use of Innocuous Reagents
  • – Employing Natural Processes
  • – Use of Alternative Solvents
  • – Design of Safer Chemicals
  • – Developing Alternative Reaction Conditions
  • – Minimizing Energy Consumption
