ABOUT THE TETRAHEDRON YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARDS
The Tetrahedron Young Investigator Awards were created in 2005 by the Executive Board of Editors and the Publisher of Tetrahedron Publications. These two new awards will be presented to two individuals who have exhibited "exceptional creativity and dedication" in the fields of Organic Synthesis and of Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry respectively.
The winners each receive US $1,000, a certificate, and an invitation to present a plenary lecture during the annual Tetrahedron Symposium. In 2009 the plenary lectures will be presented during the 10th Tetrahedron Symposium in Paris, France, June 23-26, 2009. Furthermore, two Symposium-in-Print will be compiled in their honour. As with the Tetrahedron Prize for Creativity in Organic Chemistry, which these awards complement, the awards are made on an annual basis.
