President's letter

Prof. David Milstein

Weizmann Institute of Science

2016

For his pioneering work on transition metal-mediated processes includes the activation and functionalization of normally inert chemical bonds, has provided fundamental insight into catalytic reaction mechanisms, and has enabled the design of novel chemical transformations of great synthetic importance.

President's letter

Prof. Itamar Willner

Hebrew University of Jerusalem

2016

For his seminal accomplishments in nanotechnology, materials science and bioelectronics, and for integrating biomaterials with chemical systems

President's letter

Prof. Zvi Rappoport

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

2015

For comprehensive deciphering the mechanisms of important chemical reactions and for characterizing reactive intermediates, thus equipping organic chemists with tools for better controlling their reactions; for significantly advancing the Israeli chemical community through establishing an influential school of physical organic chemistry and by refining the organic chemistry literature.

President's letter

Prof. Reshef Tenne

Weizmann Institute of Science

2015

For his discoveries of the inorganic fullerene-like nanospheres and nanotubes, which represent a new class of nanomaterials, for elucidating their unique properties and for employing them in a broad range of useful applications.

President's letter

Prof. Abraham Nitzan

Tel Aviv University

2014

Nitzan has made pioneering contributions to the theory of chemical reactions, of energy transfer and of charge transfer in condensed phases and at interfaces.

President's letter

Prof. Eliezer Gileadi

Tel Aviv University

2014

Since joining Tel Aviv University in 1966 he became a recognized leader of the domestic and international electrochemistry communities, educating generations of world-renown electrochemists and influencing the community by his widely used books.
