Prix Schläfli Award Symposium at ETH Zurich

The Swiss Academy of Sciences awards the Prix Schläfli Prizes every year for the best dissertation in chemistry, biology, physics and geosciences. Due to the Corona pandemic, no award ceremony has yet taken place for the 2020 and 2021 prize winners. Since two of the last three laureates in chemistry are from ETH Zurich, SCNAT together with ETH Zurich organized a mini-symposium for the laureates of 2020, 2021 and 2022.
