Hanwha Total (formerly Samsung)-IUPAC Young Polymer Scientist Award: The Samsung Fund of the Polymer Division provides (1) support for an award, and (2) some funds for the conference organizers to help students attend the WPC. The award winner is identified by soliciting nominations from symposium chairs of younger (under age 40) scientists who will be attending the WPC. The final list of candidates should be provided shortly after the abstract deadline passes but names can be provided earlier. A committee then selects the winner, whose conference status is upgraded (if not already) to that of an invited keynote speaker. All this should be organized by the PD Awards Coordinator in communication with the PD President and the WPC Chair(s), who should be on the selection committee. The Award is presented at the WPC, either during the award session (this has been recent practice) or during the closing ceremony. There should be a plaque provided either by the conference organizers or the PD Awards Coordinator. The PD President arranges Award payment (currently USD 2,000) with the IUPAC Secretariat before the WPC.
