In order to promote the rapid development of supramolecular chemistry and support the education of Zhejiang University, Professor Fraser Stoddart took the initiative to establish “Stoddart Science Fund of Zhejiang University Education Foundation”. The Fund is mainly used for supporting talent cultivation, international academic exchanges, scientific research, and awarding those who have made outstanding contributions in the field of supramolecular chemistry and molecular machines. Each awardee of The Stoddart Science Fund Chemist Award will receive an honorarium of 30,000 RMB and a certificate. Each awardee should pay the related taxes himself/herself. This award is evaluated once a year and awarded to one winner each time. This award is open to scientists engaged in supramolecular chemistry and molecular machine research worldwide.
