The Sir George Stokes Award was founded in 1999. Between 1999 and 2020, the award recognised outstanding and sustained contributions to analytical science by someone demonstrably working in a complementary field, which had led to developments of seminal importance to chemical analysis.
In 2020, as part of a series of changes following an independent review of the 新月直播app下载's recognition programmes, this award evolved to one of our new Horizon Prizes, which highlight the most exciting, contemporary chemical science at the cutting edge of research and innovation.
