Celebrating groups, teams and collaborations making discoveries and innovations that push the boundaries of science. Our Horizon Prizes highlight exciting, contemporary chemical science at the cutting edge of research and innovation. These prizes are awarded to groups, teams and collaborations of any form or size who are opening up new directions and possibilities in their field through ground-breaking scientific developments. Horizon Prizes recognise each and every individual who contributed to the advance or initiative, reflecting the way that research is carried out in the modern day, and the diversity of expertise and contributions that make discoveries possible.
What can be nominated?
Any kind of discovery or advance can be nominated. Your team might have uncovered something that enhances our understanding of a fundamental principle of chemistry. Or, you might have applied chemical technology to try and solve a challenge. Nominations could be multidisciplinary, and involve other disciplines outside of chemistry. Teams or groups can be working in any sector – in industry, academia or both. We’d particularly like to encourage more nominations from industry-led teams. Teams, groups or collaborations can be of any size, big or small, can be based at a single or multiple locations, and can be working across different countries. At least one member of the team must be a current RSC member.
