Thieme and Thieme Chemistry actively promote scientific engagement and excellence in chemical research with a comprehensive awards program.
The Thieme-IUPAC Prize is awarded based on scientific merit for independent research dealing with synthesis in the broadest context of organic chemistry, including organometallic chemistry, medicinal and biological chemistry, designed molecules, and materials. It is presented every two years.
This award presented every two years by Thieme and Science of Synthesis honors female chemists within the first 15 years of their independent career for their outstanding achievements in organic chemistry, broadly defined to include medicinal, biological, organometallic, or materials chemistry, and related areas.The prize includes an award of € 5,000.
The Thieme Chemistry Journals Award is presented since 1999 every year to up-and-coming researchers worldwide who are in the early stages of their independent academic career as assistant or junior professors. The awardees are selected exclusively by the editorial board members of SYNTHESIS, SYNLETT, and SYNFACTS who constantly watch out for promising, young individuals working in chemical synthesis and catalysis or closely related areas of organic chemistry.
The award consists of a one-year complimentary subscription to SYNTHESIS, SYNLETT, and SYNFACTS (online and print) and a certificate.
Every year, Thieme Chemistry is engaged as a sponsor at many international conferences. In order to support the generation of MSc, PhD and postdoctoral students various poster prizes are awarded by us to the best posters at specific conferences in form of journal subscriptions or books. The selection of the poster prize winners is carried out by independent poster prize juries.
The Thieme Lecture in Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry is held every October on the occasion of the “Day of Organic Chemistry at the University of Stuttgart (TOCUS)” and is sponsored by Thieme Chemistry. The lecture is held by internationally well-known chemists who present results of their current research to an audience of undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students and their group leaders from several regional universities.
