Science is a collective effort
Beyond individual recognition, these results reflect the strength of a research environment built on collaboration, knowledge sharing and the commitment of multidisciplinary teams.
Scientific progress is rarely the achievement of one person alone. It is the result of years of work involving researchers, doctoral students, technicians, collaborators and institutions working together to address complex challenges.
At HG Energy, this collaborative approach is central to our research activities. The exchange of ideas, complementary expertise and shared commitment to scientific excellence help translate fundamental research into new opportunities for energy and environmental technologies.
We would like to congratulate Hermenegildo García, Avelino Corma, Juan Bisquert, Paul Lecoq, Jaime Lloret and all the researchers recognised in this year’s ranking.
We also extend our appreciation to the many colleagues and research teams whose dedication and contributions make these achievements possible.
Behind every scientific recognition, there is a team.
