The nomination requirements for this award are:
- Candidates are active researchers from academia, research institutes or industry located in The Netherlands or Belgium. The candidate may have carried out part of the research in other countries or is currently active abroad.
- The nomination letter should describe the most important achievements, the impact of the research on the field and society, special accomplishments and achievements in the last 10 years.
- CV including full publication list (incl. patents).

- Three support letters by established researchers in the field.
- The nomination deadline is January 22nd, 2024. The nomination package has to be sent electronically (as PDF) to moniek.tromp@rug.nl
The Netherlands Catalysis and Chemistry Award consists of a certificate and a prize of €10,000. The winner will be selected by a committee of renowned catalysis researchers, incl. Prof. Dr. Thomas Weber (Chair VIRAN), Prof. Dr. Moniek Tromp (Chair DCS). Additional members from industry and academia will be selected at a later stage and are dependent on the nominations coming forward.
