Franzosini Prize
The Franzosini Prize is given in recognition of outstanding and sustained contributions to the field of solubility and related chemical equilibria and memoralizes the contributions to this field by the late Paolo Franzosini, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Pavia.
The Prize is presented in conjunction with the International Symposium on Solubility Phenomena and Related Equilibrium Processes (ISSP), organized by the IUPAC Subcommittee on Solubility and Equilibrium Data (SSED) and held in even-numbered years.
