1st International Alajos Kálmán Prize, Vienna, 21st August 2019

The International Alajos Kálmán Prize is awarded to an individual researcher, in recognition for outstanding scientific contributions, in the field of structural sciences, within the last 5-10 years. The Prize was established by the Hungarian Chemical Society, and is endorsed by the European Crystallographic Association. It is awarded twice, in a three-year cycle, at the ECMs. The selection of the awardee is conducted by ECA SIG13, although the recognised field is wider, including all structural sciences. The prize consists of Read More …
