Prizes

The winners will be announced at the 2020 Green & Sustainable Chemistry Conference in Germany. The Challenge is articulated in two tracks:

  • Scientific prizes: the winning project will receive a prize of €50,000, with €25,000 for the second place prize.

Please note: participants will be able to submit either to the Scientific Prizes or the Entrepreneurial Prize.
