Grammaticakis-Neumann Prize

The Grammaticakis-Neumann Prize has been awarded by the Swiss Chemical Society (SCG) since 1985 to young scientists whose independent research in the fields of photochemistry , photophysics or molecular photobiology is rated as outstanding by the expert jury. It is not to be confused with the Prix ​​Grammaticakis-Neuman of the French Académie des Sciences , which is awarded in different categories.

description

The prize was donated by the Swiss Society for Photochemistry and Photophysics (SGPP; merged as the Photochemistry Section of the SCG) as the then Swiss section of the European Photochemistry Association (EPA). The prize was named in honor of the political scientist Neumann who worked at the University of Vienna ; Grammaticakis was the founder.

Scientists up to the maximum nomination age of 40 years can be nominated for the award, which is endowed with 5,000 Swiss francs , who at the time of the proposal neither hold a full professorship nor are executive employees in the industry.
