Chirality Medal

Award for scientists

The Chirality Medal, instituted by the Società Chimica Italiana in 1991 to honor internationally recognized scientists who have made a distinguished contribution to all aspects of chirality, is awarded each year by a Chirality Medal Honor Committee composed of the Chirality International Committee members and the most recent recipients of the Chirality Medal.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The medal is awarded to the recipient at the International Conference on Chirality.[4][5][6]
