International science prizes for Bert Meijer
Nagoya Gold Medal of Organic Chemistry
In 2017, Japan’s highest award for chemistry scientists, the Nagoya Gold Medal of Organic Chemistry, was presented to Bert Meijer, TU/e professor of Organic Chemistry. Meijer thus joins an illustrious group of 22 predecessors, including several winners of Nobel Prizes, Franklin Medals and Wolf Prizes.
Chirality Medal 2018
In 2018 Bert Meijer received the Chirality Medal 2018. This prize is reserved for an elite list of laureates that includes four Nobel prize winners. The Chirality Medal was initiated by the Societa Chimica Italiana in 1991 to honor internationally recognized scientists who have made a distinguished contribution to the study of chirality.
