The European Academy of Sciences warmly congratulates Prof. Paolo Samorì, Officer of the Materials Science Division of EurASc, on receiving the prestigious 2025 Amedeo Avogadro Medal.
The award, conferred jointly by the Italian Chemical Society (SCI), the CNR Department of Chemical Sciences and Materials Technologies, and the Accademia Nazionale delle Scienze detta dei XL, honours Prof. Samorì’s outstanding contributions to nanoscience and functional nanomaterials. His research spans graphene, two-dimensional materials, and supramolecular systems with applications in optoelectronics, energy, and sensing.
Prof. Samorì is Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at the Université de Strasbourg, Director of the Institut de Science et d’Ingénierie Supramoléculaires (ISIS), and Head of the Nanochemistry Laboratory. He is internationally recognised as a leading scientist, with over 510 publications, 27,800 citations, and an h-index of 84.
The award ceremony will take place on 27 November 2025 in Rome during the 6th edition of the Avogadro Colloquia, dedicated this year to the theme “Chemistry for a Better Life: Solutions to Health Challenges.”
Prof. Samorì’s career is marked by numerous international distinctions, including the CNRS Silver Medal (2012), the RSC Surfaces and Interfaces Award (2018), the Blaise Pascal Medal in Materials Science (2018), and the IUMRS-ICEM Mid-career Researcher Award (2024), among others.
We are proud to celebrate this new recognition of one of EurASc’s Fellows and Officers, whose work continues to advance scientific excellence and innovation worldwide.
