The Dream Chemistry Award is a competition like no other – it recognizes young chemists who dream of solving fundamental problems with bold ideas. The competition is organized by the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Physical Chemistry Polish Academy of Sciences.
This year's final will take place on 6–7 December at IOCB Prague and will see five finalists who will present their dream projects.
