Call for Award Lecture applications

Are you, or do you know, an exceptional early career researcher?

Every year the British Science Association opens applications for the seven Award Lectureships available to early career academics who are skilled at engaging people with their research. These Award Lectures aim to promote open and informed discussion of science and related disciplines.

Awards are available in seven different areas:

• Social sciences
• Engineering, technology and industry
• Environmental sciences
• Agricultural, biological and medical sciences
• Physical sciences and mathematics
• Digital innovation
• Science and the arts

As well as presenting your lecture at the British Science Festival, Award winners will also receive public speaking coaching and a £250 honorarium. There may also be other opportunities to present the Award Lecture at other science festivals in the UK.
