About Franzosini
Paolo Franzosini, professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Pavia, Italy was an enthusiastic supporter of the Solubility Data Project. He had almost completed Volume 33 of the Solubility Data Series when he died suddenly on 24 January 1985. His colleagues Paolo Ferloni, Alberto Schiraldi, and Giorgio Spinolo efficiently completed the volume.
In 1988, Franzosini’s wife, with the encouragement of his colleagues, very generously donated the payments for Volume 33 to the Solubility Data Commission (V.8) to establish the Franzosini Award.
The recipients of the Franzosini Award as well as the year, the venue, and the name of the proponent have been compiled here and the latest announcement can be viewed here.
Announcement
The Franzosini Award winner(s) will be announced during the Gala Dinner and will be then expected to provide a brief report summarising the highlights of their presentation and achievements, for publication in the Chemistry International Newsletter and IUPAC website.
