Because recognising excellence and merits is important since the early stage, the EFMC and the Young Scientists Network are proud to announce the creation of the "EFMC-YSN PhD Prize". 

The prize will consist of a diploma, a 500€ grant and free registration to attend an EFMC Symposium.

Due to the current pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 prizes will be conferred at the occasion of the XXVII EFMC International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC-ISMC 2022) and EFMC Young Medicinal Chemists' Symposium (EFMC-YMCS 2022) which will take place in Nice, France on September 4-8 & 8-9, 2022.

The selection committee designated Dr Victor Sebastian Perez (CSIC, Spain) as the winner of the 2020 EFMC-YSN PhD Prize. 

Mrs Marta Serafini (Università del Piemonte Orientale, Italy) is the most meritorious runner-up.
