Awards

The Hansch and Fujita Awards

The Hansch Award, established in 2000, is named after Prof. Corwin Hansch, the father of the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR). Prof. Hansch was a pioneer of the interdisciplinary science of QSAR, and physical chemistry applied to drug discovery. The Hansch Award is awarded to a young scientist under the age of 40 who has made significant contributions to the field.

The Fujita Award, established in 2016, is named after Prof. Toshio Fujita for his pioneering and seminal contributions in the field of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) and computational methods for studying biologically active compounds. The Fujita Award is awarded to a senior scientist for their significant contributions to the field over their career.

The awards are presented at the European QSAR Symposia or the Gordon Research
Conferences on Computer-Aided Drug Design, where the awardees deliver an award lecture.
