In 2024, the 15th Otto Roelen Medal will be awarded for an outstanding achievement in catalysis research. DECHEMA and the German Catalysis Society (GeCatS) invite researchers and scientists to propose international candidates who have made significant contributions in this field, especially with regard to application-oriented research.
The Otto Roelen Medal is endowed with 5000 Euro and sponsored by the OQ Chemicals GmbH. Nominations will be evaluated by the Expert Committee of the Otto Roelen Medal.
The prize will be awarded at the GeCatS Party at the 57. Jahrestreffen Deutscher Katalytiker in March 2024 in Weimar/Germany.
