The awards program, initiated as part of the 2011 International Year of Chemistry celebrations, was created to acknowledge and promote the work of women chemists\/chemical engineers worldwide. These 12 awardees have been selected based on excellence in basic or applied research, distinguished accomplishments in teaching or education, or demonstrated leadership or managerial excellence in the chemical sciences. The Awards Committee has been particularly interested in nominees with a history of leadership and\/or community service during their careers.<\/p>\n

An award ceremony will take place during the IUPAC World Chemistry Congress in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, coinciding with the special symposium on Women in Chemistry and reception in honor of the recipients. See www.iupac2017.org<\/a> for details.*<\/p>\n

Professor Vanderlan da S. Bolzani, co-chair of the special symposium, remarked: \u201cWe are especially pleased with this year\u2019s awardees and eager to recognize their contribution in a special session organized for the 2017 IUPAC Congress. Each year since 2011, the award has gained more attention in the community. During this year\u2019s Congress and with the help of IUPAC leadership, we plan to continue this trend. My hope is to make every day International Women’s Day!\u201d.<\/p>\n

The International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.<\/p>\n

About IUPAC:<\/em>
\n IUPAC was formed in 1919 by chemists from industry and academia. Since then, the Union has succeeded in fostering worldwide communications in the chemical sciences and in uniting academic, industrial and public sector chemistry in a common language. IUPAC is recognized as the world authority on chemical nomenclature, terminology, standardized methods for measurement, atomic weights and many other critically evaluated data. In more recent years, IUPAC has been pro-active in establishing a wide range of conferences and projects designed to promote and stimulate modern developments in chemistry, and also to assist in aspects of chemical education and the public understanding of chemistry. More information about IUPAC and its activities is available at www.iupac.org.<\/em><\/p>\n
