Student Presentation Awards

During each annual meeting of the ISCE, awards are granted to the best student posters and oral presentations. Winners receive a modest cash prize and are recognized at the closing ceremony of the meeting. Two individual awards are also reserved for student presentations: the Syntech Electrophysiology Award and the Kenji Mori Chirality Award. No application is necessary; awardees are chosen from among all students who present at the meeting. Winners are determined by a committee of society councilors, led by the ISCE vice-president.

Syntech Electrophysiology Award

The Syntech Electrophysiology Award was established in 2014 and is awarded every year at the ISCE conference to an oral or poster presentation by a student. The award honors special advancement in chemical ecology obtained with electrophysiological methods or new methods in electrophysiology. A small “Golden Probe” goes with the prize, which is sponsored by Syntech.

Kenji Mori Chirality Award

The Kenji Mori Chirality Award was established in 2021 in honor of Prof. Kenji Mori and through a generous donation provided by the Fuji Flavor Company. It is awarded every year at the ISCE conference to an oral or poster presentation by a student and recognizes work toward elucidating the stereochemistry of any biologically active semiochemical.
