Prelog Lecture
The Prelog Lecture was established in 1986 to honor ETH professor and Nobel laureate Vladimir Prelog (1906-1998) for his extraordinary contributions to science in Switzerland. Since then, the Prelog Medal has been awarded annually in fall by the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry to scientists who have made outstanding contributions in chemistry and its related disciplines.
