The Wöhler-BASF Young Researcher Award is given to young scientists with doctorates for outstanding, independent scientific work in the field of inorganic molecular chemistry. This work must have been completed within the first six years of starting independent research.
The prize is worth 5,000 euros and is supported by BASF. It is announced every two years and is usually awarded during the Inorganic Chemistry Conference.
