The Judith Howard Lecture Prize
The Howard Lecture is an annual lecture which celebrates world-leading early to mid-career academics working in the biophysical sciences from anywhere in the world. It is named in honour of one of the founders of the BSI Professor Judith Howard CBE FRS. Nominations can be made for researchers working in academia or in industry and we welcome nominations for those with unconventional career paths or with career breaks.
To make a nomination please forward the name and institution link of nominees to bsi.admin@durham.ac.uk.
BSI Thesis Prize
This annual prize celebrates Durham's interdisciplinary postgraduate students. The prize focusses on students who have applied creativity and initiative to their research, particularly those who have driven the research far beyond expectations.
To make a nomination please follow the guidance on the Thesis Prize webpage.
