Christian Friedrich Schönbein Silver Award for Best Scientific Contribution
The Christian Friedrich Schönbein Silver Award for Best Scientific Contribution is based on the scientific and technical content, results, and degree of innovation shown in the submitted paper.
In the case where there is more than one candidate, the oral presentation can influence the final decision, however scientific content is the main criteria.
We congratulate all winners of the Silver Medal of Honour, and thank them again for their enormous efforts to improve and advance technology in their chosen scientific field.
