The Gmelin-Beilstein Memorial Medal is awarded by the GDCh to national and international personalities who have made special contributions to the History of Chemistry, chemical literature or chemical information. The prize was donated by Hoechst AG in 1954 and has been financed by the GDCh since 1996. The award commemorates Messrs. Leopold Gmelin and Friedrich Beilstein, who published the first handbooks on inorganic and organic chemistry in the 19th century.
The GDCh is honoring Dr. Eva E. Wille with the 2024 Gmelin-Beilstein commemorative coin . She will receive the award for her exceptional commitment to the promotion and further development of chemical literature. In particular, her successful promotion of chemical history literature and the classification of various areas of chemistry in a historical context, e.g. during the Nazi era, are recognized. The award is in recognition of her significant involvement in the founding and long-term promotion of Chemistry Europe, the association of 16 European chemical societies for the joint publication of chemical journals. The journals publish top international research and are a beacon for the excellence of chemical research in Germany, Europe and worldwide.
