The IUPAC-Soong Prize for Sustainable Chemistry—the first IUPAC presidential prize

Abstract: In November 2020, during the early phase of the COVID pandemic, Prof. Nili Cohen, then President of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities, invited me to a personal meeting in Jerusalem. She wanted to discuss my involvement with IUPAC as a long-time member of the IUPAC Bureau. Prof. Cohen mentioned that in the long history of IUPAC, the Union had only one President from Israel. Prof. Joshua Jortner, who served as the Israel Academy President from 1986-1995, was later elected the 28th IUPAC President (1998-1999).
