Lavoisier medal
The Lavoisier Medal ( French Médaille Lavoisier ) is an international chemistry prize awarded by the Société Chimique de France no more than once a year , which is named after Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier and is awarded for outstanding service to the science of chemistry. It is the highest award of the SCF. It can be awarded to individuals or institutions and is endowed with 1500 euros.
There are other Lavoisier medals with which this one should not be confused. Among others, the Lavoisier Medal for Technical Achievement of the chemical company DuPont , which is awarded to chemists of the group, the Lavoisier Medal of the International Society for Biological Calorimetry (ISBC) and that of the International Symposium on Bioorganometallic Chemistry (first awarded to Wolfgang Beck in 2010 ).
