The Royal Society of Chemistry’s prizes have recognised excellence in the chemical sciences for more than 150 years. In 2019, the organisation announced the biggest overhaul of this portfolio in its history, designed to better reflect modern scientific work and culture.
The winners join a prestigious list of past winners in the RSC’s prize portfolio, 60 of whom have gone on to win Nobel Prizes for their work, including 2016 Nobel laureates Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Fraser Stoddart and Ben Feringa and 2019 Nobel laureate John B Goodenough.

On behalf of the School, I am extremely proud of the outstanding achievements of Alison Hulme, Michael Cowley, Mathew Horrocks, and Paul Attfield in the latest round of RSC awards and prizes. This is a great testament to the exceptionally high quality of their work and a great reflection on the School of Chemistry.
