Primo Levi Prize for Roald Hoffmann Roald Hoffmann (Cornell University, Ithaca) is the winner of the inaugural Primo Levi Prize. This honor, which is supported by the GDCh and the Società Chimica Italiana (SCI; Italian Chemical Society), is awarded to chemists or scientists from neighboring disciplines who are particularly active in human rights issues and thus advance the dialogue between chemistry and society. Hoffmann, whose Author Profile is published in this issue,1a is honored for his respect of ethical principles in chemistry. In addition to his outstanding scientific achievements, he has also written philosophical, ethical, and poetic works that teach readers about responsibility, respect, and empathy. Hoffmann studied at Columbia University and worked with Martin Gouterman and William N. Lipscomb at Harvard University for his PhD (completed in 1962). After a junior fellowship at Harvard University (1962–1965), he joined Cornell University, where he remains to this day as Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters Emeritus. Hoffmann shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1981 with Kenichi Fukui for work on the theories concerning the courses of chemical reactions. His Review on the effect of pressure on organic reactions in fluids is published in this issue,1b and a selection of his classic papers can be found in a Virtual Issue dedicated to him. Hoffmann has been on the International Advisory Board of Angewandte Chemie since 1995. Honorary Membership of the GDCh Honorary Membership of the GDCh is the society's highest honor and is awarded for exemplary service in promoting chemistry and the aims of the GDCh. Egon Fanghänel (TGZ Bitterfeld-Wolfen) studied at the Technische Universität (TU) Dresden and worked with Friedrich Asinger at the RWTH Aachen for his doctorate. After completing his habilitation at the TU Dresden, he joined the Technische Hochschule Leuna-Merseburg, where he remained until his retirement in 2000. He subsequently became a consultant at the Technologie- und Gründerzentrum (TGZ) Bitterfeld-Wolfen. Fanghänel was Chairman of the Chemische Gesellschaft der DDR (East German Chemical Society) from 1985–1988, and was instrumental in opening up the society and the integration of its members into the GDCh after reunification. For decades, he was one of the authors of the practical organic chemistry textbook Organikum, which is currently in its 24th edition.2 Helga Rübsamen-Schaeff (AiCuris Anti-Infective Cures) studied and carried out her PhD and postdoctoral work at the University of Münster, Cornell University, and the Universities of Gießen and Cologne, and completed her habilitation in 1983 at the University of Frankfurt. In 1982, she joined the Georg-Speyer-Haus, Frankfurt (Institute for Tumor Biology and Experimental Therapy) firstly as head of department and subsequently Scientific and Managing Director. In 1993, she moved to Bayer, Leverkusen, where she lead virus research (1993–2001) and anti-infective research (2001–2006). In 2006, she founded AiCuris and was its CEO until 2015, whereupon she became Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board. Rübsamen-Schaeff is honored for her achievements as a researcher and manager, as well as for being a role model for successful women in chemistry. She was on the GDCh Board between 1996–2003, and was the first female Vice-President of the GDCh (2000–2001). Peter Gölitz (Wiley-VCH) studied at the University of Göttingen, where he completed his doctorate (supervised by Armin de Meijere) in 1978. He subsequently carried out postdoctoral work at the IBM Research Laboratories, San José (1978–1979) and with de Meijere who had moved to the University of Hamburg (1979–1980). In 1980, He joined the then Verlag Chemie, and in 1982, he was made Editor-in-Chief of Angewandte Chemie, which has since grown significantly and become highly international over the past 35 years. Gölitz is recognized for his contributions to the founding and development of chemistry journals, in particular that he made Angewandte Chemie into a flagship journal. He is also recognized for his role in reshaping the European publishing landscape, building relations in publishing with Australasia, and his support for the international activities of the GDCh. Karl Ziegler Prize for Matthias Beller Matthias Beller (Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT) at the University of Rostock) is the recipient of the Karl Ziegler Prize, which is one of the highest German honors in the field of chemistry, and comprises € 50 000 and a gold medal. Beller studied at the University of Göttingen, where he completed his PhD (supervised by Lutz F. Tietze) in 1989. After postdoctoral work with K. Barry Sharpless (1990) and working at Hoechst AG (1991–1995), he joined the faculty at the Technische Universität München in 1996. He moved to the University of Rostock in 1998, and has been Director of the LIKAT since its founding in 2005. Beller's research interests include the development of sustainable catalysts for applications such as coupling and carbonylation reactions, and the application of catalysis to environmentally benign energy technologies. His reports on the manganese(I)-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of ketones3a and a biomass-derived non-noble cobalt catalyst3b are published in this issue. Beller has been on the Editorial Board of Angewandte Chemie since 2009 and has been Editorial Board Co-Chair of ChemSusChem since its founding in 2008.
