Arkema and the French Academie Des Sciences launch Prize for Innovation In Chemistry for Sustainable Materials.
Arkema and the Académie Des Sciences introduce the Prize for Innovation in Chemistry for Sustainable Materials. The prize, in the sum of €25,000, is intended to reward a scientist of international standing in the field of materials. It specifically rewards scientific work that contributes to the development of innovative materials in the service of environmental protection and sustainability. This may, for example, include bio-sourced, recyclable, high-performance and lightweight materials for renewable energy, sustainable construction or mobility.
“This prize will reward highly talented scientists working to improve the environment. It is perfectly in line with Arkema’s new brand signature: ‘Innovative Materials for a Sustainable World.’ It reflects our belief that scientific research and technological innovation will be major contributors to the positive development of society,” says Armand Ajdari, Arkema group R&D chief technology officer (CTO).
The Académie Des Sciences will launch a call for proposals at the beginning of the year specifying the terms for submitting and presenting applications. The Prize for Innovation in Chemistry for Sustainable Materials will be awarded every year in the fall at a ceremony in the academy's premises in Paris.
