The IFCS will present the

to recognize those contributing in an exceptional way on a

a global scale of a broader scope and nature.
Previous Recipients of the IFCS Special Recognition Award
The first IFCS Special Recognition Award was presented to the International POPs Elimination
Network (IPEN) in 2003 at Forum IV. IPEN is a global network of public interest nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) originally founded to support a common goal of eliminating
persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Through its effective mobilizing and coordination of more
than 350 public health, consumer, environmental, and other NGOs in 65 countries, IPEN
contributed much to the successful negotiations of the Stockholm POPs Convention. Awareness
raising in the general public and involvement of public interest NGOs was a crucial element for
the acceptance and successful completion of the negotiations. IPEN was a key driving force to
fulfil this task.

The second IFCS Special Recognition Award was presented to Professor Dr. Her Royal
Highness Princess Chulabhorn Mahidol of Thailand and the Chulabhorn Research Institute in
2006 at Forum V. The Award was presented in recognition of Her Royal Highness's exceptional
efforts to increase scientific and technical capacities and capabilities for chemical safety through
the work and achievements of the Chulabhorn Research Institute. The Award acknowledges
with deep gratitude the special contributions to the goals of global chemical safety that have
been made by the education and scientific exchange programmes at the Chulabhorn Research
Institute. The wide range of specialized training in science and technology particularly in
toxicology provided by the Chulabhorn Research Institute substantively contributes to building
the national and regional human resources and expertise which are an essential requirement for
chemical safety.
