ResumoThe European Young Chemist Award (EYCA) 2010 was held in Nuremberg, Germany, during the 3rd EuCheMS Chemistry Congress. This was the third time this award has been presented. It had previously been awarded at the 1st European Chemistry Congress in Budapest in 2006, and at the 2nd European Chemistry Congress in Torino in 2008. Under the patronage of the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuCheMS), the Italian Chemical Society (SCI), the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh), and the European Young Chemists Network (EYCN), the European Young Chemist Award 2010 was chaired by myself (SCI) and Sergej Toews (EYCN). The aim of the EYCA is to showcase and recognize the excellent research being carried out by young scientists working in the chemical sciences. In particular, this award is intended to honor and encourage younger chemists whose current research displays a high level of excellence and distinction. It seeks to recognize and reward younger chemists of exceptional ability who show promise of substantial future achievements in chemistry-related research fields. To be eligible to participate in the European Young Chemist Award in Nuremberg, the applicants had to be less than 35 years old by August 29, 2010 and co-authors of an abstract submitted to the 3rd European Chemistry Congress. As on the previous two occasions, the event was fully sponsored by the Italian Chemical Society. For the event in Nuremberg, we received about 70 applications from scientists between the ages of 19 and 34 (Figure 1 a); slightly fewer than in Budapest (120) and Torino (90). The trend is probably attributable to the fact that people now realize that the competition is very hard and it is not easy to even reach the final. A few applicants also participated in the previous competition. a) Age of the applicants (year of birth); b) nationality of the applicants. The competitors came from 18 different countries (Figure 1 b). Most of the applicants were born or were working in Spain, Italy, and Germany (about 10 per each country). Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Iran, China, India, Australia, South Africa, Rumania, Russia and many other European countries were also represented. Again, there were relatively few applicants from the UK, France, and Switzerland. In contrast, the visibility of the EYCA-2010 reached China and India. Approximately 66 % of the applicants were male, and about 30 % were PhD students, the number of postdoctoral researchers being a smaller percentage. Practically no applicants came from industry, even if many applications dealt with problems of great industrial interest and some researchers have been and/or are in very close contact with industry. Several among the older participants have permanent positions as Professors, Associate Professors, Junior Professors, Researchers at Universities or Research Institutes; others hold positions as Lecturers, Assistant Researchers, Group leaders, and Tenure Track Assistant Professors. A couple of very young participants were undergraduate students. Many participants have worked in more than one country, moving from Europe to Japan or the USA. Many received grants from programs like Erasmus/Socrates, Marie Curie and Marco Polo. Some of them went around studying or working in three, four, and even five different European countries and for this reason can be considered to be truly European citizens. As in Budapest and Torino, the scientific standing of the applicants was very high and their research achievements were remarkable, especially in relation to their young age. Note that research from the best candidates of the two previous EYCA competitions can be found in four different books entitled “Tomorrow’s Chemistry Today—Concepts in Nanoscience, Organic Materials and Environmental Chemistry”, “Ideas in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences—Advances in Synthetic Chemistry”, “Ideas in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences—Where Chemistry Meets Life” and “Ideas in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences—Advances in Nanotechnology, Materials and Devices, edited by myself , and published by Wiley-VCH, with the patronage of EuCheMS, SCI, RSC, and GDCh. A few facts and figures help to illustrate the quality of the participants. About 45 % of the applicants were selected to give an oral contribution at the Nuremberg Congress. Among the candidates, one had already had about 60 papers in peer-reviewed international journals and is responsible for a group of 20 PhD and Post Doc researchers, and has a hindex of 17 and the published papers have been cited well over 1500 times. Several participants had already received a number of prizes and had been invited to give various lectures. Again, as in previous years, several of the papers quoted in the reference lists of the applicants of the EYCA-2010 had achieved further recognition by being featured on the covers of top journals. Other papers had been selected as hot articles or highlighted in top journals. The publication lists of most applicants proudly noted the appearance of their work in the leading general science/chemistry journals such as Science, Nature, Angewandte Chemie, the Journal of the American Chemical Society, and Chemistry—A European Journal or the best niche journals in the fields of Organic, Inorganic, Organometallic, Physical, Analytical, Environmental, and Medicinal Chemistry. Moreover, according to the recommendation letters, some of the work of the candidates may be considered as major breakthroughs in their particular fields. On reading the applications, it became clear that the applicants have very varied scientific interests and have very interesting ideas for their future work. Further support for the applications, and a testament to the very high quality of the competitors, was apparent from reading the recommendation letters coming from a number of eminent scientists. A flavor of these from the applications received is given below: “The top 1 % of students at one of the top universities in Europe”. “Her personality and skills should place her high on any list of good representatives for our country” (this was for a competitor from a developing country)”. “The candidate is extremely bright, hard-working, talented, and he has a great love of chemistry that is infectious. He has one love and one hobby and they are the same: chemistry. He eats, lives, and breathes the subject. This is manifest in his exceptional command of the chemical literature. With this chemistry, the candidate has made breakthroughs on several fronts”. “He is an exciting young scientist whose bright star is on the rise. A more talented, tireless, enthusiastic, and genuine colleague would be difficult to find. I endorse the candidate enthusiastically! If you select the candidate to receive the 2010 European Young Chemist Award you will be making the best possible choice, and as well, adding his name to the list of recipients of this Award will help to increase this Award’s honor and prestige”. “A very bright, hard working researcher, eager to learn with high research scales; with a creative and positive mind”. “He has a lot of talent for both experimental and theoretical research. His ability to acquire new knowledge is accompanied by an extraordinary aptitude to make use of this knowledge to tackle old and new problems”. “He tends to work (too) hard. With his dynamic nature, curious mind, initiative and many innovative ideas the candidate has shown to be fully capable to function as an independent researcher. I advise him to continue his career in science because there are not so many people around with his kind of talent”. “She is an outstanding candidate for this award for the following reasons: Excellent research achievement. Outstanding academic performance. Strong commitment to chemistry”. “With an outstanding background of education is able to push the limits of his topic to an unexpected extent. He surprised me not only with his experimental skill, but also with his creativity in solving problems. He is an independent thinker and a real leader”. “The research activities followed by the candidate are impressively wide. I have every reason to believe that the candidate will show an outstanding performance and become a key contributor of chemistry in his generation”. “I can testify that she is a truly outstanding young scientist, one of the top three post-doctoral fellows [from a total of over fifty] with whom I have had the pleasure of working”. “Her research is characterized by a refreshing inventiveness, and willingness to tackle new problems in an imaginative fashion. Her publication record to date is outstanding for a young researcher”. “It is very clear that the candidate has the gift of identifying the relevant questions and important directions in his research”. “He deserves this award for his myriad and important contributions to the fields of…︁.”. “He is an extraordinarily skilled, creative and accomplished synthetic and materials chemistry researcher. He has an enthusiastic approach to any kind of chemical problems and has shown a tremendous interest for new developments in pure and applied research, considering all different branches of chemistry, physics and materials science. He carried out most of the experiments at a very sophisticated level, but has also contributed with very valid new ideas, that led to opening of new research areas”. “She is a highly creative young scientist working on topics of exceptional interest embracing several areas of chemistry”. “She was a Key player in our effort…︁.”. “You will be hard pressed to find a better candidate for the award”. “She is an outstanding scientist as well as a most valuable and congenial colleague. I sincerely consider myself very fortunate to have her as a key player in our research team”. “Her expertise, knowledge and talent will be of considerable value for the progress of science and prestige of the European Scientific Community”. “He possesses a modern far-reaching vision for the discipline, which includes not only an emphasis on the core activities involving methodology and target-oriented synthesis but also a recognition of the importance of integrating these in the context of the interface with biology and medicine. Thus, I am convinced he is a superb scientist and would be an outstanding hire for the very best departments at the very top Universities”. “He is a star-researcher and as such has my strongest possible recommendation in support of his application”. “She is intellectually curious, passionate and devote her skills towards the achievement of scientific goals involved in her work constantly trying to transform ideas in real chemistry”. “Based also on my colleagues’ opinion, I rank him among the top 5 % students I have met in my academic career. He has always carried out his research activity with independence and strong leadership, with a very clear vision of future directions”. “I do not exaggerate when I say that I think the candidate is the very best undergraduate student with whom it has been my privilege to work over the last 30 years”. “Select him!”. “His analyses stemming from computational results have been most insightful. I think the candidate has shown that he is a tremendous scientist”. “Without her dedicated contributions, my lab would not be where it is today”. “He is superb!”. “She already is and will be a model for young women who want to undertake a career in science”. “It should be a top priority for Europe to keep such caliber scientists from developing countries around by providing them with a professional perspective”. “Her productivity is taking off while maintaining scientific excellence as the main driver”. In addition to the above, I would like to stress that several papers were not only scientifically excellent and innovative, but were also industrially relevant, as illustrated by the number of patents in the reference lists of the applicants. Also, many of the candidates are highly successful teachers; others are also very good communicators for “their” science. For one of the competitors, the supporting letter said: “In very clear, interesting and very lively talks, he fascinates his auditorium”. In addition, some of the older competitors are currently involved in industrial projects, and others have been responsible for organizing laboratories and meetings. On the basis of the recommendation letters it is also clear that many candidates possess an engaging personality with whom one can have stimulating discussions about chemistry and science in general. A panel of finalists was selected on the basis of the evaluation by the Symposia Chairs from the 3rd European Chemistry Congress and/or other recognized international scientific experts. The selection criteria were looking for evidence of: Excellence in chemistry and related fields Originality and independent contribution Thoroughness and a depth of understanding of the research area Awareness of the future perspectives of their research To illustrate the above I quote here a few referees comments and judgments, which were used to narrow down the field. “The applicant has worked in excellent groups and has achieved in a short time major results in the area of mechanistic and synthetic organic chemistry as well as materials chemistry”. “The applicant’s present research field is undoubtedly of highest relevance”. “This is a truly important aspect which will have impact”. “The scientific value is very high, with certainty. Whether a technical value will emanate from the applicant’s research is (as always) difficult to predict. As the candidate and his co-workers are amongst those at the forefront of this kind of research, it is likely that their work will lead to technological value”. Owing to the high scientific quality of the applicants, the selection procedure proved to be very difficult and it is pity that some very high caliber scientists could not be included among the finalists. Notably, young chemists gave important contributions in almost all the symposia of the 3rd European Chemistry Congress and as mentioned above about 30 of them gave an oral presentation. In the following, noteworthy contributions from the applicants are summarized (the names of the finalists are given in boldface): In the Symposia “Innovative Materials” and “Supramolecular Systems”, the young chemists played a key role (9 out of 14 applicants gave an oral presentation): Carlos Baleizao (Centro de Química-Física Molecular, Instituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal) reported the first successful encapsulation of pristine fullerene C70 in polymer nanoparticles to be used as temperature fluorescence sensors; Giacomo Bergamini (University of Bologna, Dipartimento di Chimica “G.

On the basis of the selection procedure and the time available, 16 finalists were selected for the EYCA-2010 finalists’ special symposium. To reflect the different career level of the applicants, the finalists were divided in two sets: one for the PhD students and the other for those already active as a Post Doc or with their own research group. After a brief welcome by Prof. Luigi Campanella (The President of SCI) and an introduction on the history of the award and rules by myself, the finalists each gave a 12-minute talk on their research during the morning and afternoon sessions (Csaba Janaky from the EYCN, chaired the afternoon session) of the EYCA finalists’ special symposium of the 3rd European Chemistry Congress. The talks were presented in front of a jury, composed of Prof. Dr. Michael Droescher (The President of the GDCh), Prof. Dr. David Phillips (The President of the RSC) and Prof. Dr. Maurizio Prato (from the SCI), who were entrusted to select the award winners at the two levels. At the end of each session, questions were posed by the jury and members of the audience. A photograph of most of the participants (finalists, jury, chairmen) is shown in Figure 2. From right to left: top row: Maurizio Prato, Sergej Toews, Csaba Janáky, Bruno Pignataro, Ulrich Hintermair, Michael Dröscher, David Phillips, Giacomo Bergamini, Nicolai Cramer. Second row: Laura Gómez, Sophie Carenco, Xinliang Feng, Clemence Corminboeuf, Xile Hu, Abbie Trewin, Serena Silvi, Guido Clever. Third row: Santiago Gómez-Ruiz, Shinichiro Fuse, Claudia Höbartner, Sheshanath V. Bhosale. The session was very vibrant and exciting; the finalists presented a summary of many hot topics at the forefront of chemical science, and displayed plenty of creativity and innovation. As in Budapest and Torino, the competitors presented chemistry more and more as a dynamic science (because of the continuous development of knowledge, techniques, and paradigms), often adapting its potential to the demands of society, implementing its tradition and collaborating with other scientific disciplines to open up entirely new fields at the interface with physics, materials science, or life sciences. After long deliberations, the jury made the following awards (Figure 3): First prize (a gold medal; 1800 Euro; a certificate): Nicolai Cramer, ETH Zurich, Laboratory of Organic Chemistry, Switzerland Second Prize ex-equo (for both the two second prizes: a silver medal; 800 Euro; a certificate): Clemence Corminboeuf, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland Claudia Höbartner, Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen, Germany First prize at PhD level (a gold medal; 800 Euro; a certificate): Sophie Carenco, Laboratoire de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Paris and Laboratoire Hétéroéléments et Coordination, Ecole Polytechnique, CNRS, Palaiseau, France Second prize at PhD level ex-equo (for both the two second prizes: a silver medal; 600 Euro; a certificate) Ulrich Hintermair, ITMC of RWTH Aachen, Germany Laura Gómez, Departament de Química, Parc Científic i Tecnològic de la Universitat de Girona, Spain 3 The EYCA-2010 winners.

A special mention was also made by the jury about Aurelio Mateo-Alonso (Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies, School of Soft Matter Research-Germany) In his closing remarks, Prof. Dr. Michael Droescher made the following comment: “As science and also the chemical science are getting more and more internationally competitive, it was good to see the high quality presented at the Finalist’s Symposium of the European Young Chemists Award. Europe’s young talent excels with topics ranging from synthesis to theory, from catalysis to energy storage. Not only the winners received the respect of the jury but all contestants of the symposium”. Finally, the Gold and Silver Medallists (in Figure 4 the Gold Medal) were presented at the Award Ceremony during the Closing Ceremony of the 3rd European Chemistry Congress in the presence of Prof. Luis Oro (President of EuCheMS), Prof. Franco De Angelis (Past President of the Italian Chemical Society and Treasurer of EuCheMS), Prof. Michael Dröscher and Prof. Maurizio Prato for the jury, Dr. Sergej Toews (President of EYCN), and myself. A photo of the Gold Medal presented to the EYCA-2010 winner. I personally learned a lot and received important scientific feedback from the attendees. In addition, I was again left with the feeling that our future is bright given that it is in the hands of such talented scientists. We are proud to underline that the two previous Award competitions were won by scientists that are in important positions and/or have made significant advancements in their careers: Jonathan Nitschke (Gold Medal 2006) joined the academic staff at the Cambridge University (UK); Leroy Cronin (Silver Medal 2006 - ex equo), Full Professor at Glasgow University (UK), who owing to the quality of his publications and the rate at which they are appearing was recently featured in the Author Profiles section of Angewandte Chemie; Javier Garcia Martinez (Silver Medal 2006 - ex equo) was featured by Chemistry International as one of the 2009 Young Global Leaders for his pioneering work in nanotechnology and energy; Fabio Arnesano (Gold Medal 2008) is Researcher at he University of Bari (Italy); Guillermo Espallargas (Gold Medal at PhD level 2008) is currently a “Juan de la Cierva” Research Scientist at the ICMol - Univerity of Valencia (Spain); Leonard J. Prins (Silver Medal 2008), Researcher at the University of Padova (Italy), recently received an ERC IDEAS starting grant and won a national competition for Associate Professors; Ali Tavassoli (Silver Medal 2008) who is a lecturer in chemical biology at the University of Southampton and joined the Bio-Organic Committee of the Royal Society of Chemistry; Viktoria H. Gessner and Gustavo Fernández (both Silver Medal—ex equo—at PhD level 2008) currently developing their research in outstanding laboratories and making important breakthrough in their fields. I am confident that the winners of this competition will also become key players for the progress of Chemical Sciences. I cannot finish this Editorial without having expressed my personal acknowledgements to Chiara Musumeci and Giuseppe Francesco Indelli (Consorzio Catania Ricerche) for their precious help in the technical organization of the Award, to all the referees/judges involved in the selection process, and to Prof. Giovanni Natile as well as Prof. Franco De Angelis and Prof. Luigi Campanella who, as Presidents of the Italian Chemical Society (over these years of the EYCA), constantly encouraged and supported this activity.
