he Clara Immerwahr Award, launched by UniCat in 2011, is an award for promoting equity and excellence in catalysis research fostering young female scientists at an early stage of their career. The award is dedicated to Dr. Clara Immerwahr (1870-1915), who was the first woman in Germany to earn a doctorate in Physical Chemistry in 1900.
The Clara Immerwahr Award is conferred annually to a young female scientist from Germany or abroad at an early stage of her career (postdoctoral fellow, junior researcher) for outstanding results in Catalysis Research. It is associated with a financial support of 15.000 Euro for a research stay at UniSysCat and thought to establish close collaborative links with UniSysCat working groups.
The Award serves as an excellent example of the promotion of outstanding young female scientists and is another successful measure taken by UniSysCat aimed at advancing female researchers.
We are pleased to congratulate this year's awardees, Dr. Michelle Browne from Trinity College Dublin, IE and Dr. Daria Galimberti from Radboud University, NL. Dr. Galimberti and Dr. Browne will be honored during a virtual ceremony on April 23, 2021 at TU Berlin.
