The professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló (UJI) and member of the Institute of Advanced Materials (INAM) Eduardo Peris has received the prestigious Humboldt Research Award of the 2019 call, a distinction conferred by the German Alexander von Humboldt Foundation with a prize of 60,000 euros, whose ceremony had been postponed due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Professor Peris was nominated by Professor Ekkehardt Hahn of the University of Münster in Germany, with whom he has been collaborating for years. This award recognises the UJI professor's contributions in the field of organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. Of particular relevance is his contribution to the design of heterometallic catalysts for tandem processes and his contribution to the study of supramolecular processes that influence homogeneous catalysis.

Since 1972, these awards have been conferred to internationally renowned members of the non-German scientific and academic community in recognition of their research work and achievements to date with a significant impact on their own discipline. Previous recipients include numerous Nobel Prize winners, as well as Valencian researchers Avelino Corma and Juan Fuster.

Eduardo Peris graduated in Chemistry in 1988 in the University of Valencia and completed his doctoral thesis at the same university under the supervision of Professor Pascual Lahuerta. In 1994 he joined Robert Crabtree's group at Yale University, where he stayed for two years, to work on a research project on the determination of hydrogen bonds to metal hydrides (hydrogen bonding).

In October 1995 he moved to the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló as assistant lecturer (1995-1997). In 1997, he was promoted to senior lecturer and later to professor in the area of Inorganic Chemistry. During the last ten years, Eduardo Peris has paid special attention to the design of heterobimetallic catalysts for catalytic reactions in tandem processes, in which each metal was involved in a mechanistically different reaction.

More recently, Eduardo Peris has developed organometallic supramolecular systems for the recognition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and for the study of homogeneously catalysed processes. Eduardo Peris is the author or co-author of 225 articles in international chemistry journals, which have received more than 16,000 citations. He is the author of more than ten book chapters or monographs and has supervised 18 doctoral theses. From 2007-2010, Eduardo Peris was a member of the Advisory Board of the journal *Organometallics* of the American Chemical Society.

From 2014 to 2018 he was president of the Spanish Division of Organometallic Chemistry (GEQO) of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (RSEQ). Since 2017 he has been a member of the expert committee of the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum in the city of Valencia. In 2012 he was awarded the RSEQ research excellence prize in the field of research in Inorganic Chemistry and in 2021 he was awarded the Rafael Usón Medal of the RSEQ Organometallic Chemistry Specialist Group, the highest distinction of this institution and the youngest researcher to receive it, for his contribution to organometallic chemistry.
