International Award for Advances in Harmonized Approaches to Crop Protection Chemistry

The International Award for Advances in Harmonized Approaches to Crop Protection Chemistry recognizes individuals in government, intergovernmental organizations, academia, and industry who have exercised personal leadership for outstanding regulatory, public policy, and/or educational contributions supporting international harmonization of crop protection chemistry. The award is administered by the IUPAC Advisory Committee on Crop Protection Chemistry, a subcommittee of the Chemistry and the Environment Division of IUPAC, and is presented on a roughly biennial basis.

Nominations for the 2025 award are due by February 1, 2025. For more information, see the full announcement on the IUPAC Website (click here!)
