NEUCHATEL, Switzerland, May 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- The Reaxys(R) PhD Prize Awards Original and Innovative Research in Organic, Organometallic and Inorganic Chemistry

Reaxys today announced the 45 finalists for the 2011 Reaxys PhD Prize. This most prestigious international prize is open to all students studying for (or having completed in the last 12 months) a PhD in chemistry, and recognizes research and publication excellence in organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry. Launched in January, submissions consisted of a representative peer-reviewed piece of published research, a PhD Supervisor letter of recommendation and a CV. All entries were reviewed by a board of over 70 leading international chemists and judged for originality, innovation, importance to the field, applicability, rigor of approach and publication quality.

"We received nearly 300 submissions this year," said Dr. David Evans, Scientific Affairs Director at Elsevier Properties SA. "The finalists represent the highest quality research being performed today in some of the world's leading chemistry departments. The quality and importance of the work submitted for consideration clearly reflects the growing importance of this prize to the global chemistry community. Having personally read all of these contributions, I know that the Prize Review Committee will have an extremely tough choice in identifying this year's three overall winners from this group of 45 finalists," he continued.

All finalists are invited to attend the Reaxys PhD Prize Symposium and present a poster describing their research. The Symposium and Poster Session will be held at the 14 Asian Chemical Congress (http://www.14acc.org/), on Wednesday September 7, 2011, in Bangkok (http://www.14acc.org). A travel bursary will be provided to in part support attendance and registration fees for the conference.

The final selection of the winners of the 2011 Reaxys PhD Prize, announced in June, will be made by the Reaxys PhD Prize Committee who are all members of the Reaxys Advisory Board:

Prof. A. G. M. Barrett, Imperial College London,

Prof. B. M. Trost, Stanford University,

Prof. H. N. C. Wong, Chinese University of Hong Kong.

The three winners will be announced in early June. Each of the winners will receive a US$2000 check, and will be invited to give a paper at the 2011 Reaxys PhD Prize Symposium in Bangkok. A travel bursary will be provided to support attendance and registration fees for the conference.
