AWARDS

Pavel Jandera Young Scientist Award

About Pavel Jandera

Pavel Jandera was a world-leading analytical chemist who devoted his entire professional life to research in the field of high-performance liquid chromatography. During his scientific career, he worked at the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Pardubice, Czech Republic.

His greatest contribution to the field of liquid chromatography was the introduction of a comprehensive theory of liquid chromatography with programmed elution conditions. He was also involved in the research of gradient elution techniques in preparative chromatography, modeling retention and selectivity in various phase systems, preparing organic monolithic microcolumns, and, last but not least, in the development of theory and practical applications of two-dimensional liquid chromatography, primarily in the comprehensive form.

More information can be found in the review article, where a detailed overview of Pavel Jandera’s contribution to the evolution of separation sciences is outlined.

About the award

The purpose of the award is to honor the memory of Pavel Jandera and his significant contributions to separation science, including his dedication to fostering the careers of young scientists. The award includes a monetary prize of 1,000 Euros, a glassware medal bearing the recipient’s name, and an invitation to speak at the next ISC conference. The award will be presented during the closing ceremony and is sponsored by the Faculty of Chemical Technology at the University of Pardubice.

The award has been established for future editions of the ISC Symposium.

Eligibility

All young scientists who give an oral presentation at the meeting, indicate their interest in applying for this award in the registration form, and are within 12 years of their PhD defense at the time of presentation are eligible. Justified career breaks are not counted in this period, e.g., parental leave. 

Selection Process

The Award Jury evaluates eligible oral presentations, selecting a winner based on the overall quality and delivery of the presentation, as well as the scientific quality and relevance of the results.
