Vanadis Award

Starting with the 4th meeting in 2004, a Vanadis Award has been bestowed to distinguished researchers in the area of Vanadium Science, on the basis of contributions to vanadium chemistry, biochemistry, biology or pharmaceutical science or combinations thereof, and is given to those having displayed innovative research, a large influence, a wide research scope and have had a documented impact on the direction and advancement of the field. The award committee is essentially composed of previous awardees and of former chairs of vanadium symposia.
