EuChemS announces 2024 Lecture and 2026 Gold Medal awardees

The European Chemical Society (EuChemS) is delighted to announce the recipients of two of its most prestigious honours.

Maria Cuartero, Full Professor at UCAM (Spain) and Associate Professor at KTH (Sweden), is the recipient of the EuChemS Lecture Award 2024. Professor Cuartero’s research focuses on ion sensing, ion-selective electrode development, and innovative (bio)chemical sensor technologies. Granted annually, the award promotes scientific cooperation and highlights excellence in European chemistry.

Marc Koper, Professor of Surface Chemistry and Catalysis at Leiden University (The Netherlands), has been awarded the EuChemS Gold Medal 2026. Marc Koper is internationally recognised for his research in electrocatalysis, electrochemical surface science, and their applications in renewable energy. Presented every two years, the award recognises exceptional achievements in the field of chemistry in Europe.

EuChemS extends its warm congratulations to both awardees for their achievements and their continued contributions to European chemistry.
