Purpose
To provide opportunities for researchers and students inside or outside the host university to learn about cutting-edge technologies taught in lectures on topics in organic chemistry given by invited foreign researchers, and to help such researchers and students to advance their research activities.
Details
A prize awarding ceremony will be held. The recipient will give a lecture at Kyoto University and Osaka University in principle (and other universities in Kansai area)
Selection
The steering committee will nominate and decide the recipient after deliberations.
