How to nominate for an Award, Medal or Prize
The Society presents several awards, medals and prizes as part of its remit to support and encourage scientists working in the fields of astronomy and geophysics. Some are aimed at young scientists, while others recognise many years of dedicated service to our sciences.
Anyone can make a nomination. It is not necessary to be a Fellow of the Society. All nominations are made in strict confidence; nominees should not be informed of submissions in order to avoid unnecessary disappointment. This does not apply to Education and Outreach Awards (see individual Award descriptions). Click on each Award, Medal or Prize for further information.
Closing dates for awards:
- Astronomy, Geophysics & Instrumentation Thesis Prizes: 31 January for theses submitted the previous year.
- Patricia Tomkins Undergraduate Prize in Instrumentation: 31 May.
- Education and Outreach Awards: Last Friday in September for the following year's award.
- All other awards: 31 July for the next year's awards.
