The European Academy of Sciences (EurASc) is proud to congratulate Prof. Helmut Schwarz on being awarded the prestigious Wolf Prize in Chemistry 2025 for his groundbreaking contributions to quantifying reactive species in the gas phase to solve fundamental problems in catalysis.
A distinguished scientist and thought leader, Prof. Schwarz has made pioneering advances in chemical reactivity, catalysis, and molecular science, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of metal-mediated catalysis, C-H bond activation, and single-atom catalysis (SAC). His work has not only expanded fundamental scientific knowledge but has also paved the way for innovative applications in sustainable chemistry and clean energy solutions.
EurASc had the honor of recognizing Prof. Schwarz’s exceptional scientific achievements in 2021, when he was awarded the Leonardo da Vinci Award for his outstanding contributions to chemistry. Now, following his Wolf Prize distinction, EurASc is pleased to announce his automatic elevation to Honorary Member status, in accordance with the Academy’s Statutes and Bylaws.
On behalf of the EurASc President, Prof. Rodrigo Martins, Vice-President, Prof. Dr. Alain Tressaud, and the Head of the Chemistry Division, Prof. Pierre Braunstein, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Prof. Helmut Schwarz on this well-deserved recognition. His scientific legacy continues to inspire and shape the future of chemistry.
EurASc remains committed to honoring and promoting excellence in science, and we are privileged to count Prof. Schwarz among our esteemed members.
