The European Academy of Sciences is pleased to announce that Prof. Gary J. Schrobilgen, Fellow of EurASc, has been awarded the International Henri Moissan Prize 2024, one of the highest international distinctions in the field of fluorine chemistry. The International Henri Moissan Prize, awarded every three years by the Fondation de la Maison de la Chimie, recognises a scientist of international standing for outstanding and sustained contributions to fluorine chemistry and fluorinated compounds. Established in 1986 to commemorate the centenary of Henri Moissan’s isolation of elemental fluorine — a discovery that led to the first Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to a French scientist — the prize is widely regarded as the most prestigious distinction in this specialised field. Prof. Schrobilgen, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at McMaster University (Canada), is recognised for his seminal work in inorganic fluorine chemistry, including noble-gas chemistry, main-group and transition-metal fluorine chemistry, and radiochemistry. His research has had significant applications in areas such as nuclear energy production, photovoltaic and semiconductor materials, advanced rocket propellants, refrigerants, microelectronics, as well as medical imaging and radiopharmaceutical development. The award ceremony took place on 5 November 2025 at the Fondation de la Maison de la Chimie in Paris, following a postponement from 2024 due to scheduling disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Moissan Medal was presented during a dedicated scientific symposium organised for this occasion. The European Academy of Sciences warmly congratulates Prof. Gary J. Schrobilgen on this distinguished international recognition.

The European Academy of Sciences (EurASc) announces with deep sorrow the passing of Prof. David A. Dixon, Fellow of EurASc and Robert Ramsay Chair in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Alabama (USA), who passed away on 2 January 2026, at the age of 76. Born on 3 December 1949 in Houston, Texas, Prof. Dixon was a world-leading scientist in computational chemistry, internationally recognised for his pioneering contributions to fluorine chemistry, catalysis, environmental chemistry, and large-scale molecular simulations. He earned his B.Sc. in Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. from Harvard University, where he worked under Nobel Laureates William Lipscomb and Dudley Herschbach. Throughout his distinguished career, Prof. Dixon held senior academic and leadership positions at the University of Minnesota, DuPont Central Research, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and later at the University of Alabama, where he served from 2004 onwards. His work played a decisive role in the development of computational chemistry as a strategic tool in industry and environmental protection, notably contributing to the replacement of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons and helping to protect the stratospheric ozone layer. Prof. Dixon was a central figure in the development of major scientific software infrastructures, including NWChem and the Molecular Sciences Software Suite, which received both R&D 100 and Federal Laboratory Consortium Technology Transfer Awards. He authored more than 900 scientific publications, held multiple patents, delivered hundreds of invited lectures worldwide, and mentored generations of students and young researchers. A Fellow of several leading scientific societies, including the European Academy of Sciences, Prof. Dixon will be remembered not only for his exceptional scientific legacy but also for his generosity as a mentor, collaborator, and colleague. The EurASc community extends its sincere condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues worldwide.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

The European Academy of Sciences (EurASc) is pleased to announce the official signing of the Cooperation Agreement establishing the Asia-Pacific Center of EurASc, marking a significant milestone in advancing scientific collaboration between Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The agreement was signed on October 2025 between EurASc –represented by its President, Prof. Rodrigo Ferrão de Paiva Martins, and Secretary-General, Prof. François Pichault – and the China- Europe Electronic Materials International Innovation Center(Hefei) Co., Ltd., represented by Prof. Tony Xingyou Tian, Researcher at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Professor and Vice President of Anhui Normal University. The new Asia-Pacific Center, based in Hefei, Anhui Province, will serve as a strategic hub for academic exchange, joint research initiatives, and innovation. Its mission is to promote interdisciplinary cooperation in advanced materials, new energy, information technologies, and related scientific domains, strengthening the global visibility and impact of EurASc through enhanced Europe – Asia engagement. The Hefei Municipal Government has committed to provide assistance with scientific collaboration, conference organisation, and other operational needs. In addition, Hefei will support EurASc Congresses and scientific events held in China. Further details about this support will be shared in the near future as planning progresses. The Asia-Pacific Center Secretariat will operate under the China -Europe Electronic Materials International Innovation Center, with Prof. Tony Xingyou Tian as Responsible Officer, Prof. Yi Gong as Vice Officer, and Ms. Olivia Zhang as Assistant and Liaison, supported by the Center’s administrative and financial teams. EurASc will appoint a dedicated contact to ensure full coordination and alignment with the Academy’s procedures. Moreover, to strengthen the Center’s academic foundation and its connections with key research institutions, Prof. Liang WANG from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, will join the Center as a senior advisor. The Center is planing for high-level scientific forums, collaboration with Nobel and Fields Laureates, joint applications for national scientific research projects, and talent introduction initiatives are already being explored. Further information on these activities will be announced as planning develops and agreements are finalised. This initiative marks an important step in EurASc’s global outreach, reinforcing the Academy’s commitment to scientific excellence, international cooperation, and the advancement of knowledge for societal benefit.
