The Kathleen Lonsdale RIA Chemistry Prize
Formally known as the Young Chemist Prize, and since its inauguration in 2000, the Academy works each year with the expert members of its Physical, Chemical and Mathematical Sciences Committee to select a winner based on the most outstanding Irish PhD thesis in the general area of the chemical sciences.
The prize, kindly sponsored by Henkel, includes an award of €2,000. The winner will also be nominated by the Physical, Chemical and Mathematical Sciences Committee to compete amongst the top young chemists in the world in the IUPAC-SOLVAY International Award for Young Chemists
