Merck, a world-renowned science and technology company, is set to usher in a new wave of scientific innovation with the third edition of its Young Scientist Award. The prestigious award honors young scientists for their exemplary contributions to societal progress. Notably, this year’s award introduces a unique category for sustainability research.
Sustainability, once a sideline in research, has rapidly ascended the ranks to become a significant pillar of scientific investigation. This shift aligns with the global need for sustainable solutions to counter environmental challenges. The award’s new focus on sustainable practices is a testament to Merck’s recognition of the role of science and technology in addressing global sustainability issues.
The jury, comprising three distinguished chairs, will review applications from researchers associated with a research institute, having less than 10 years of post-Ph.D. research experience. To be eligible for the 2023 Merck Young Scientist Award, researchers must also reside in India.
As registrations open, the scientific fraternity anticipates a wave of groundbreaking research ideas from across the country. The award winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on November 24, 2023. To register, visit here.
