Via Chimica Prize

Sometimes, a world-changing discovery can come from a single university student. This is why we launched the Via Chimica Prize. Awarded annually for an original student work (a scientific article, a bachelor’s thesis, or a study designed exclusively for the competition), the Prize is open to talented chemistry students across the country and is awarded by the Experientia Foundation in cooperation with the Learned Society of the Czech Republic. In addition to the scientific achievement itself, we also assess the candidate’s ability to explain their work in both scientific and lay language. We believe that targeted long-term support of young scientists will have a significant influence on Czech chemistry and advance it towards global excellence, perhaps even to the next Nobel Prize.
