1. Purpose

The JISEDAI Symposium Lectureship Award encourages young researchers who are expected to play an active role in the future while developing creative research in the field of organic chemistry. This award provides opportunities for young researchers to present one's chemistry through a lecture tour through Japan and overseas.

2. Award Recipients

As of April 1, 2024, young researchers (doctoral, or a doctoral equivalent are also welcomed) under the age of 36 (born after April 2, 1988) and who have been members of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan for over a year at the time of application are eligible. However, students who are eligible to receive the Student Lecture Award are not eligible for this award. If you took a leave of research due to a life event (childbirth/childcare/elderly care), the leave period will be extended from the upper age limit.

This award is given to the researchers who make excellent English lectures at the 22nd Symposium on Organic Chemistry: the Next Generation. In principle, within the award year, the winners of this award will deliver lectures at overseas and/or domestic universities and research institutes (travel expenses provided). Additionally, a written report following the lecture tours is expected. The report will be posted on Farumashia and The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan Division of Organic Chemistry Website.

5. Examination Method

Preliminary screening is conducted based on the submitted documents. Up to 10 applicants who have passed the screening process (to be notified in late February) will be to register and to prepare an English abstract for the 22nd Symposium on Organic Chemistry: the Next Generation. The final review will be held at the lecture of this symposium (Lecture in English: 15 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for discussion). There is no problem if the contents of the presentation overlap with the topic to be awarded in one of the following awards: The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan Award for Young Scientists, Division of Organic Chemistry Prize, and each award on The Pharmaceutical Society Japan Branches. The English lecture by the candidate allows any overlaps with the one in the Symposium on Progress in Organic Reactions and Syntheses. This award is aimed at lectures that focus on the latest achievements, not review lectures. Multiple applications from one candidate can be accepted, if the application contents are different from the past presentations. Co-authors can be included just the same as general presentations. Please note that applicants who do not pass the preliminary screening will be asked to either "decline to lecture" or "give a general presentation (presentation content can be changed)" at this symposium.
