The Robert Boyle Prize for Analytical Science was first awarded in 2008, bringing together the Robert Boyle Medal (awarded to distinguished overseas analytical chemists) and the Society of Analytical Chemistry (SAC) Gold Medal (awarded to distinguished analytical chemists from the UK and Ireland).
Between 2008 and 2020, this was awarded to an individual for outstanding contributions to analytical science.
Robert Boyle (1627-1691) is widely regarded as being the first modern chemist after the publication of his work The Sceptical Chymist.
In 2020, as part of a series of changes following an independent review of the 欧美AV's recognition programmes, this award evolved to become one of our new Analytical Science Horizon Prizes, for teams or collaborations who are opening up new directions and possibilities in the field of analytical chemistry.
