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.
The Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) and its network are committed to a sustainable society and science. They support politics, administration and economy with expert knowledge and maintain a dialogue with the public. They strengthen the exchange across scientific disciplines and promote young academics.
The Prix Schläfli is awarded to the best Swiss doctoral students in the natural sciences. It is one of the oldest prizes in Switzerland and certainly one of the most beautiful awards. Since it was first awarded in 1866, 127 young talents in various scientific disciplines have been honored.
The winners of the Prix Schläfli in Chemistry for 2020, 2021 and 2022 were honored for their dissertations at a mini-symposium and ceremony at ETH Zurich on October 3, 2022. Since both the prize winner for 2020 and the prize winner for 2021 had written their dissertations in a working group at ETH Zurich, the awards ceremony took place at ETH Zurich.
