Metrohm ANZ is delighted to announce it will continue to reward outstanding young electrochemists in the Australia & New Zealand region. Invitations are open for the 2026 Metrohm & Electrochemistry Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (EDRACI) Young Electrochemist Award for researchers in the Electrochemistry and Spectroelectrochemistry domain.
The 2026 Award will continue to reward three outstanding researchers in each category as follows:
PhD Category
- $1000 Award for the winner
- $500 Award for the finalist
- $500 Award for the finalist
Post-doctoral Category (up to 5 years post PhD, with allowable extensions for approved periods of leave or part-time work)
- $1000 Award for the winner
- $500 Award for the finalist
- $500 Award for the finalist
Do not miss the opportunity to present your research work to the distinguished panel of EDRACI. The privileged platform has been designed to support and honour ongoing electrochemistry in the region, and the great young aspiring minds behind it.
We strongly encourage applications from researchers from diverse backgrounds and locations.
Click here to participate in the 2026 Metrohm & EDRACI Young Electrochemist Awards. Time TBC.
Deadline: Friday, 27 February 2026 (5.00 pm AEDT)
Abstract submission must include:
- Research Title
- Goal/Significance: Briefly describe the goal of your research, its significance, the experimental design, and the methods of analysis you use.
- Contribution: Describe your contributions to the research, including any innovations that you have employed to advance the work. How challenging were the experiments or analysis, and how have you overcome these challenges?
- Impact/Outcomes: Discuss the impact of your results. Has the work been published, patented or used in conjunction with other research? Note: If the work is highly collaborative (i.e. multiple authors on a paper), discuss the specific parts of the work that you contributed to.
- Future: What are the next steps in this work? What will you or others do to advance your efforts? Are there any potential commercial outcomes of your work, now or in the future?
* Please submit your abstract as either PDF or doc. format. Any other formats (e.g. PowerPoint, videos) should be stored elsewhere and be shared as a link in the submitted PDF or doc. document.
You will be judged in the following three categories:
- Clarity of application materials, including your ability to explain the research area and its significance.
- Contribution to the work (e.g. experiments performed, innovations in experimental design or analysis).
- Outcomes and impact of the work (e.g. quality of publications, patents), especially where you have contributed to advancing knowledge in the field of electrochemistry.
Finalists will present a 15-minute talk on their research at the Award Ceremony around April 2026. During this meeting, the overall winner for each category will be announced. On 10 April 2026 (1 pm AEST), please join the presentation and award ceremony via the MS Teams meeting link below:
