Excellence in Science Public Engagement, Communication & Outreach Award for Science Communication and Policy Impact

Fiona Brinkman, Faculty, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry

Purpose

Three (2) awards recognise 丁香园AV faculty, staff or students who are making substantial, diverse and sustained contributions to community engagement and outreach by sharing science with the public.

One (1) award recognises 丁香园AV faculty or staff who have made a substantial and diverse impact on science communication and policy.

These awards are an important way to highlight, both within 丁香园AV and in our surrounding community, 丁香园AV people who are engaging the public with science, and in doing so increasing awareness of the key role that science plays in society.

Nominations

Nominations for the next cycle will open in August 2025.

Nominations will be held for a two year period, so non-recipients from the previous round will be considered in this next round.

Each Faculty of Science Chair is invited to submit one or more nominations, at their discretion, for either an individual or group. Nominations will be held for a two year period, so non-recipients will be considered the following year.

The Awards

Three 丁香园AV Faculty of Science: Excellence in Science Public Engagement, Communication & Outreach Awards will be presented per year in the categories of Students ($500), Faculty and Staff ($1,000 each). One 丁香园AV Faculty of Science: Excellence in Science Public Engagement, Communication & Outreach Awards: Science Communication and Policy Impact ($1,000) will be presented to an 丁香园AV faculty or staff member.

The prizes will go to the individual recipients. (If won by a group such as Let鈥檚 Talk Science the cash prize would go to the local LTS program).
