Every two years, the Liebig Association for Organic Chemistry in the German Chemical Society awards the ORCHEM Award for Young Scientists who have distinguished themselves through new, original and groundbreaking scientific work in the field of organic chemistry and who have not yet held a management position for several years.
The prize is worth EUR 5,000 and is supported by BASF. It is usually awarded to two people and includes an award certificate and prize money of € 2,500.00 per person.
The ORCHEM Prize is traditionally awarded at the ORCHEM Conference . The awardee present the results of their outstanding work in a lecture.
