Dominik Madea, a student of the PhD programme in Chemistry at the Faculty of Science of MU, scored in the competition of young scientists for prizes awarded by the Embassy of France in the Czech Republic, when he took third place in the Chemistry category and won the Jean-Marie Lehn Prize 2022. Congratulations!
The award ceremony took place on 23 June 2022 and was chaired by Jean-Marie Lehn, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Jean Tirole, Nobel Laureate in Economics, Thomas Ebbesen, Kavli Prize in Nanotechnology, and French Ambassador Alexis Dutertre.
A total of 50 candidates under the age of 33, nominated by a university or the Academy of Sciences on the basis of the quality of their research work during their PhD studies, took part in the competition. The results were decided by 6 committees composed of 37 Czech and French professors and scientists. After the past two years, when due to the global health crisis, all competitions were held via videoconference, this year all competitions could be held in person.
Ten graduates from the MU Faculty of Science, along with their supervisors and consultants, have received Masaryk University Vice-Rector’s Awards for excellent results in their doctoral studies. Congratulations.
Read an inspirational interview with Dr. Joe Lennon about how he teaches the course Advanced English for PhD Studies at SCI MUNI and how he coordinates the Masaryk University Writing Lab, helping students make a greater impact with their academic writing.
