2010 British Science Association Award Lectures

11 Dec 2009


Do you know a brilliant science communicator? Nominations for the 2010 British Science Association Award Lectures are now open. The Award Lectures are prestigious awards presented to young scientists who are particularly gifted at presenting their research to a non-specialist audience. The selected Award Lecturers are invited to present at the British Science Festival from 14- 19 September 2010 in Birmingham. The British Science Festival attracts tens of thousands of people and generates thousands of column inches in the national, regional and international press. The Award Lectures tend to receive excellent publicity and are a very popular component of the programme among a wide audience.

The Awards gives the 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. There are five different Award categories: Joseph Lister Award - Social sciences; Isambard Kingdom Brunel Award - Engineering, technology and industry; Charles Lyell Award - Environmental sciences; Charles Darwin Award - Agricultural, biological and medical sciences; Lord Kelvin Award - Physical sciences and mathematics. Nominations will close on Friday 26 February 2010. For more information, please visit the website below.
