The Palladium Global Science Award (PGSA) is an international competition established in 2025 to identify and support outstanding scientific and applied concepts, as well as research and development aimed at creating palladium-based materials with unique properties. These developments could lead to new industrial applications of palladium and the development of the technologies of the future.[1]
Organization and partners
[edit]The China Precious Metals Industry Committee (CPMIC) is the main partner of the competition. Bian Jiang, Executive Chairman of the CPMIC, emphasized the importance of palladium for the development of many industries, including the high-tech and green industries, as well as the need to support scientists and research groups working on innovations in this field.[2]
Other partners:
[edit]- North-West University (NWU), South Africa
- Shanghai Metals Market (SMM), China
- MDX Research Center for Element Strategy (MDXES), Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan[3]
Nominations and prize fund
[edit]The competition includes the following categories.
- New Palladium Application: Best Scientific Development
- New Palladium Application: Best Scientific Article
- New Palladium Application: Best Applied Concept
The total prize fund is $350,000 and is distributed as follows:
Best Scientific Development:
- 1st place - $120,000
- 2nd place - $60,000
Best Scientific Article:
- 1st place - $80,000
- 2nd place - $40,000
Best Applied Concept:
