COIN's highest honor
The CO-IN Lifetime Achievement Awards recognize individuals whose transformative contributions have profoundly advanced their fields and inspired generations of researchers.
In the grand theater of scientific discovery, there are those who publish papers, and then there are those who publish eras. The CO-IN Lifetime Achievement Award exists to honor the latter.
Explore ListCOIN Fellows comprise an elite international community of scholars selected for their outstanding scientific achievements and enduring influence on their disciplines.
Attendees across all CO-IN conferences gain unparalleled access to these luminaries through dedicated fellow-led keynotes, invitation-only roundtables, and collaborative breakout sessions.
To present at a CO-IN conference is to share the floor with a COIN Fellow. To learn from one is to fast-forward your own scientific journey by years. Together, they ensure that every CO-IN Symposia conference—regardless of discipline—rises to the highest standard of excellence: the standard set by those who have already changed the world.

These opportunities extend our mission beyond the symposia, providing ongoing support to the chemical sciences community.
