Last week, Coralie Jehanno, CSO of Polykey and Polymat researcher, was honored with the prestigious Young Investigator 2024 award from the Real Sociedad Española de Química (RSEQ). The award was presented during the Jornadas de Jóvenes Investigadores Químicos at the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha.

This recognition highlights Coralie’s outstanding contributions to the fields of plastic recycling and biobased polymers. The innovative products and technologies she initially developed at Polymat and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) are now central to Polykey’s activities.

Polymat extends its congratulations to Coralie and to the other award recipients:

• Celia Castillo Blas, Mauro Mato, and Andreu Tortajada Navarro (Postdoctoral researcher category)
• Susana Campuzano, María Cuartero Botía, Sergio García Segura, and María Moros Caballero (Group leader category).

We thank the organizing committee, the Castilla-La Mancha Territorial Section of the RSEQ, and the volunteers from UCLM for hosting an excellent event.
