Gibson-Fawcett Award
The Gibson-Fawcett Award is awarded by the Royal Society of Chemistry[1] every two years to recognise outstanding work in the field of materials chemistry.[2] In particular, the emphasis is on the originality and independence of the work carried out.[3] The prize was established in 2008 and is awarded by the Materials Chemistry Division Awards Committee. It can only be given to researchers under age 40.[4] The award was discontinued in 2020.[5]
History
The award is named after Reginald Gibson and Eric Fawcett,[6] eminent chemists who worked together with Anton Michels on the study of the role of high pressure in chemical reactions. This led to the discovery of polyethylene.[6]
