There were 29 applicants from 15 countries. The Prize
Selection Committee was comprised of Members of the IUPAC Bureau with
a wide range of expertise in chemistry. The Committee was chaired
by Dr. Joshua Jortner,
Professor of Chemistry at Tel Aviv University and Past President of
IUPAC. Prof. Jortner commented on the high quality of the applications
and said, " I was very happy with the nominations for the 2001 Prize,
which reflect on the high quality of the international activity, and
on the development of new and exciting research areas in the chemical
sciences. In choosing the Prize winners, we considered scientific
standards and quality as primary criteria, and geographical diversification
as a secondary criterion."
In view of the quality of many applications, the Committee decided
also to give four Honorable Mention awards to:
The Honorable Mention Award winners will receive a cash prize of
USD 100 and a copy of the Compendium
of Chemical Terminology, the IUPAC "Gold Book".
The awards to the four winners of the IUPAC 2000 Prize and the

Opening session of the IUPAC
Congress in Brisbane, Australia.
