GIC Awards 2021

SCI-GIC

The Interdivisional Group of Catalysis (GIC) of the Società Chimica Italiana will award four prizes to chemistry graduates (who obtained their degree between November 2019 and November 2021) whose research activity focused on the application of catalytic methodologies to organic synthesis.

The awardees will receive a personalized plate and will be invited to shortly present the results. Candidates should send the following documents via email to Dr. Rinaldo Psaro:

  • A short abstract of their undergraduate dissertation (max. 4 pages including title and references; font: Times or Arial; size: 11; line spacing: 1.5 or more, margins: 2 cm or more).
