Our Prizes

Recognizing impact & encouraging talent

We believe it is important to put outstanding young chemists in the spotlight. For instance, the KNCV presents awards for the best graduation theses at the MBO (Gouden Vlam), HBO (Gouden Spatel), and university (Golden Master Award) levels. Additionally, through Jong KNCV, we organize a pitch competition for PhD students (Spotlight Prize) and a poster prize.
