On the occasion of the 100^th anniversary of its foundation, Indena has instituted the biennial prize “Indena - Biagio Alberto della Beffa” whose first edition has been celebrated on July the 8th 2021, during the closing ceremony of the International Summer School on Natural Products - ISSNP.
ISSNP has been selected as the official site for the application to the contest. Indena is partnering with ISSNP in identifying the most talented scientists in natural product chemistry and selecting the best applicants, in the spirit of a fruitful collaboration between Industry and Academia.

The 2021 call of the prize is reserved to post-graduated Chemists and Pharmaceutical Chemists to reward and support the professional development of young talented scientists in Natural Product Chemistry.
This prize is an additional initiative that testifies Indena’s commitment to invest in young researchers as managers of the future.

The three winners have been selected among 24 distinguished candidates with high-level competences, strong determination for scientific career and passion for natural products. It is very important to underline that one of the salient features of the winners is given by their different areas of competence, which - in a virtual circle - will in turn nourish the knowledge of Indena.

The winners have been awarded a monetary prize, an internship at Indena’s R&D center and a managerial training at one of the most prestigious Italian universities.
The internship, together with the managerial learnings, will give the opportunity to grow not only in industrial research but also in general management.

Furthermore, the winners will give a presentation during the Scientific Congress that Indena will hold on November the 8^th 2021 to celebrate its Centennial. The Congress will be a match of past and future, the perfect occasion to celebrate successful people and facts which have been protagonists in Indena’s history, as well as celebrating and supporting the talents of the future.
