British Science Festival Award Lectures
Each year the Award Lectures offer a rare opportunity to honour five professional scientists or engineers in the early stages of their career, who show outstanding skills in communication to a non-specialist audience.
Award Lecture Details
The Award Lectures aim to promote open and informed discussion on issues involving science and actively encourage young scientists to explore the social aspects of their research.
Before submitting a nomination please consider the following questions:
• Is the nominee's research cutting edge?
• Will the research have an interesting societal impact?
• Can the nominee clearly communicate their research to a lay audience?
If you would like to nominate a professional scientist or engineer for an award lecture for 2012, please visit the British Science Association website.
