The Dream Chemistry Award is a competition unlike any other. It pays tribute to human dreams that change the world. In the competition, a prize is awarded to a young scientist with a chemistry background for a scientific dream in the field of chemistry or chemistry-related disciplines.
This year you can join the finals and watch the presentations of the TOP 5 dream projects delivered by young scientists from the USA, France, Netherlands, and UK, online. There will also be a special lecture by Nature Chemistry editor Russell Johnson.
Join the event now and the live stream (see below in the program) on November 30 & December 1 at 6 p.m.
The Dream Chemistry Award is organized by the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences and IOCB Prague.
