2023 Neuron Awards Laureates

The 2023 Neuron Award for promising scientists was awarded to Kateřina Rohlenová, Tomáš Slanina, Zuzana Kúkelová, Martin Schwarzer, Sylvie Graf, Martin Kozák and Lenka Slavíková. Among the laureates of this category, for the first time in the history of the awards ceremony, there are more female scientists than male scientists. The Neuron Foundation also presented one Neuron Award for connecting science and business, when it recognized the transfer of a scientific discovery by the spin-off company Lipidica, a.s. The highest award, the Neuron Award 2023 for lifetime contribution to science, was won by the internationally renowned Czech chemist František Švec, whose life story is the embodiment of the American scientific dream.
